Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing this letter to show my interest in the ‘Curatorial Internship’ position. Currently, I am a student at Muhlenberg College. Through my Printmaking art course, I was first introduced to this internship opportunity at Alfa Art Gallery. After discussing this in my class, I became extremely interested in applying. I am comfortable in my communication skills, as I have had much experience with my volunteer work and workplaces. The volunteer organization that I had the privilege of helping was with ‘Center for Food Action New Jersey’, where the other volunteers and I would work together to plan out everyone’s roles for the day and who would be responsible for interacting with the poor income families who signed up for food assistance. I worked at Lollipop PreSchool, where I assisted the teacher as a camp counselor during the summer. Here, I became more adept at communicating in a team setting, with other assistants and faculty, communicating with kids of all ages, and managing a week’s worth of activities. I am also very flexible when it comes to working and interacting with different people, seeing as how in my previous line of work I had to constantly acclimate to the different needs of different kids. I also have established knowledge of different art pieces and concepts throughout the years; I have taken a variety of art classes, where I compared and understood the meaning and background of artists’ work and their mediums. I know I have the ability to showcase my skills and bring a notable amount of value. Through my experiences in communication skills, organization, and art research, I know I am proficient in interpersonal relationships, teamwork, and work ethic. I would be delighted to be given the opportunity to speak more about my qualifications if selected for an interview for one of these internships. Thank you for taking your time to read my letter.
