As part of our dedication to building expertise and experience
in student, graduate and post-grad artists, Franconia invites
dedicated, career-bound artists to apply for the Intern Artist
Fellowship Program. Franconia works to nurture the artist
growth, creativity and interaction between emerging and
established artists in an outdoor, rural setting. The Intern Artist
Fellowship Program provides the opportunity for students and
recent graduates to experience firsthand the working life of
career artists in a professional setting.
Intern Artists are provided room, board and studio space in the
outdoor work area in exchange for daily assistance of the
Fellowship Artists and Franconia staff. Typically, Intern Artists
Kari Reardon, 2009 Jerome Fellowship
Artist
spend half their time on their own work to be included in the
2013 exhibition and half spent assisting Fellowship Artists with
fabrication, site preparation and installation of all types and
sizes of three-dimensional work; landscaping and park
maintenance. Intern Artists are also involved in Franconia’s
outreach and education programs introducing contemporary art
and ideas to the community. The community and education
programs that Intern Artists assist with include teaching
students at our Kids Make Sculpture workshops and providing
guided tours of the park.
The Intern Artist Fellowship Program is the brainchild of John
Hock, founding Director and current Artistic Director/CEO, and
it is based on experiences he had as a young artist. The
program has been in existence since the first year of the park’s
exhibitions in 1996. Hock received an award for Program
Excellence from the National Foundation for the Advancement
in the Arts for the creation of this Intern Artist Fellowship
Program.
Intern Artists must fund their own travel expenses and
materials needed to create their sculpture. To help offset travel
and material expenses, some schools sponsor internships. The
sponsorship makes it possible for a student in any financial
situation to participate in Franconia’s Intern Artist Fellowship
Program.

This section is

new content.
Any career-bound artist or aspiring arts administrative
professional may apply to Franconia’s internship programs.
Successful applicants are provided with room, board and studio
space (Intern Artist Fellowship Program only) for two to four
months. Interns must fund their own travel and material
expenses. To help offset travel and material costs that the
intern may incur, some schools or private individuals sponsor
their internship. The sponsorship is typically between $800 and
$2,000, making it possible for a student in any financial
situation to participate in our intern programs.
Please approach your Dean, Chair and/or Professor to discuss
the possibility of school sponsorship. All potential interns need

the possibility of school sponsorship. All potential interns need
to apply to our program prior to their school’s finalization of
sponsorship. Application instructions for the Intern Artist
Program can be found here, and application instructions for the
Public Art Administrative Internship can be found here. An
applicant is accepted or rejected based on the merit of their
application, the potential for an internship at Franconia to
benefit their career and the recommendations of their
references.
Receipt of sponsorship does not necessarily guarantee
acceptance to our internship programs. Only after a potential
intern makes a successful application do we accept
sponsorship from their college, university or individual. We
encourage all applicants to speak to their school representative
early about the possibility of sponsorship.
Sponsorship is crucial for many students who cannot afford to
spend time in our internship program without additional
financial support. A portion of the sponsorship funds go to
Franconia to help offset the cost of room, board, outdoor studio
space, machinery and tools for the interns. Please view the
suggested amount for intern sponsorship here.
