million dollars with over 3,000 works in the collection, from historic monuments to contemporary
works. The CAC Internship will provide an opportunity to assist with projects related to the
cataloguing, display, maintenance, and conservation of the Civic Art Collection. Recently, the city
completed a mulit-year inventory project that has been an integral planning tool for the team. The
city uses a collections management database (EmBARK) to organize details of artworks in addition
to maintaining an extensive physical archive. SFAC is responsible for managing various types of
projects to care for the collection including typical maintenance, conservation treatment

correlating data to identify trends to anticipate conservation needs, geo-locating monuments for
future mapping, and updating information in the collections management database.
The internship will expose students to multiple facets of public art collections care and planning
long-term preservation goals. In addition to the project listed above the intern will assist with other
ongoing projects as needed including a public mural investigation and various conservation
stabilization and restoration projects. During the internship, the student will be mentored by the
collections team and learn software skills (Embark database), best practices for collection care, write
condition reports, how to plan and manage conservation projects, and project budgeting.
Eligibility
The intern must be graduate-level status, and have computer literacy in Microsoft Office (Word,
Excel, PowerPoint) and the Adobe Design Suite (Acrobat and Photoshop are most relevant).
Experience with collections management systems preferred, and any experience with database
systems or large inventories is desired. The ideal candidate will be self-motivated, organized, and
collaborative with good communication skills. Academic credit will be arranged. Internship will be
structured around a 40 hour work with, Monday through Friday, with some flexibility in reporting
times. This position will be paid 20$/hour for six to eight weeks starting June 6th with some
flexibility for the end date.

Gallery.
