Meet Daniel, (left) a graphic design student at California State University of Los Angeles. Being undocumented, he wanted to intern at CSPG to represent his community and help educate and inspire people to action with the power of political art.
Meet Kevin, (right), an LA native and a rising sophomore at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in upstate New York, pursuing a major in Sociology and minors in Entrepreneurial Studies and Art History. Kevin wanted to intern at CSPG because he's an activist, and believes in the power of posters to highlight struggles of disenfranchised communities.
CSPG hired Daniel for our Media & Design position and Kevin for our Archive & Research position.

Since 1993, the Foundation's Multicultural Undergraduate Internship program has provided substantive, full-time work opportunities to 3,200 undergraduates, exposing them to potential careers in the arts. Aiming to encourage greater diversity in the professions related to museums and the visual arts, the program provides funding for internships at cultural organizations across Los Angeles, including at the Getty Center and the Getty Villa. The Foundation's support enables organizations to host students in full-time, paid internships for ten weeks during the summer. The internships are intended for outstanding students who are members of groups underrepresented in careers related to museums and the visual arts. Students gain experience in key areas such as curatorship, conservation, education, publications, and related programmatic activities. Candidates are sought from all areas of undergraduate study and are not required to have demonstrated a previous commitment to the visual arts.
