ARMENIAN RUGS SOCIETY INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

          As part of its new Community Outreach Program, the Armenian Rugs Society is proud to announce a variety of internship opportunities for college and university students, as well as others interested in public service within a vibrant and growing non-profit environment.
 
     The Armenian Rugs Society has been dedicated to the identification, preservation, documentation, and dissemination of knowledge pertaining to the cultural contributions made by Armenian weavers and craftspeople to the rich and vibrant history of textile arts, since its founding as a non-profit in Washington D.C., in 1980.
 
      And, to this end, the Armenian Rugs Society, has sponsored and participated in countless exhibits, workshops, symposia, and lectures, both nationally and internationally, (most recently the Smithsonian Institute’s Folklife Festival) within public and private spaces, including universities and colleges, art galleries and museums, for the general public and collectors.
 
        Those interested in connecting with a passionate global community, learning about Armenian culture, the textile arts, exhibition and symposium organizing, curating, and event planning, as well as a slew of other activities and projects, are urged to apply. 

      All interns will receive community service and volunteer experience with commensurate accreditation. Some positions may become paid part-time or full-time opportunities in due course.

        Please visit our website at armeniarugssociety.org to inquire and/or apply via our site’s CONTACT page or via our e-mail, info@armenianrugssociety.org, with the hashtag #internship in the comment section or subject line. 
 
     We look forward to collaborating with you and a growing community of scholars, artists, collectors, and organizations passionate about the fascinating world of Armenian textile arts.
