missy elliot smith Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hi everyone, I applied to MoMA's 12-month curatorial internship in the Media and Performance Art department last month. Any other 12-month applicants on the forums? I haven't heard back for interviews yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just-waiting Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hi, I apply too, but in a different department. Has anyone heard back confirming that they have your application with all the necessary files? Thank you. I did not and I don't know if it is bad news.

island_in_the_sun Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 haven't head back yet either (applied to a different department) I think in past years they've held interviews in the last few weeks leading up to the decision, so fingers crossed! has anyone been interviewed?

just-waiting Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Still nothing. I was hoping to get any update this week about my application, at least the confirmation email. Do you have any news? Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giot Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Hello! I have applied to the Research & Development Internship. Any news? Did anyone receive the confirmation email? I've run out of patience☺ Still hoping though Edited July 29, 2016 by Giot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missy elliot smith Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Hey everyone, I just got a notification that I haven't been accepted - I've posted the text to that email below, for those interested. To be honest, I'm not quite sure what they're looking for, so if you get a similar response don't feel bad. I'm about as specialized in this field as I can be for someone at this stage in their career. I graduated at the top of my class from a prestigious MA program, interned for the most significant figure in my field doing a lot of hands-on work with exhibitions and writing, and I know a significant amount about the artists the department I applied to is focusing on. Even with all that and stellar application essays, I didn't even get an interview. These New York museums are fickle af. Dear applicant, Thank you for your interest in the 12 Month Internship Program at MoMA. After careful consideration, we are unable to provide a placement for you in this September's class. It was especially challenging to select final candidates given the number of excellent applications, as we did review each and every one. We appreciate your time and effort in applying, and wish you much success in your job search. All the best. 12-Month Internship Program The Museum of Modern Art Edited July 29, 2016 by missy elliot smith Giot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa17 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Hi everyone, I am about to apply for one of this year's positions. I have a very practical question about the submission: does the 12 month internship application needs a motivational letter and reference letter? I thought so but I don't understand why is specified in the short term internship instructions and not in this one. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
