Sole Study

Looking for hands-on museum experience? Apply for a fall internship!

The Frist’s college internship program introduces students to the many career pathways in a museum. We’re now accepting applications for paid internships in our communications, development, and education & engagement departments for the fall 2025 semester. We also offer a fellowship to introduce an emerging professional to the process of researching, planning, and realizing an exhibition.

The deadline to apply is Monday, July 7. 

Explore new ArtQuest activities inspired by historical Mediterranean cultures!

Dive into a new lineup of art activities in Martin ArtQuest inspired by Venice and the Ottoman Empire. Try your hand at drawing a self-portrait inspired by the powerful Venetian doges, or design your own shield. Build an ancient Italian city at the block table or trade goods at the interactive magnet wall. You can also create a shimmering painting using gold watercolor and help weave a collaborative sculpture using rich, textured fabrics. And don’t miss the chance to sketch a mannequin dressed in an elaborate doge’s outfit!
