Hi everyone, I am enjoying reading about everyone's unique internship experiences.  My summer internship is a hybrid of two internships that both offer valuable experience in facilitating art museum collaborations for Elder facilities.  As anyone in the museum world understands, it takes money to make programs happen, thus one internship is to assist an arts council with a National Endowment for the Arts grant.  This should refresh and renew my knowledge and skills in this area while helping them with the gathering of information/data and writing the necessary narratives.  My second internship is at a local nursing home where I am working for the activities director with her regular schedule of activities while also developing and implementing art activities.  Interacting with the residents and staff will aid me in developing a realistic view of the lives of residents and the internal environment of the institution to better understand the possibilities and limitations of how art museums can aid this audience.
