Internships Locust Projects annually provides internships to current high-school and college-level students who seek an in-depth learning experience towards the exhibitions, events, and development activities of a celebrated non-profit contemporary art organization. Interns work directly with Locust Projects staff and contribute to the contemporary art community in Miami. The best candidates will be undergraduates or recent college graduates, though high school internships are also available. High School Internships are unpaid.
