The Museum of Wisconsin Art (MWA) is America’s newest regional art museum housing
the state's most comprehensive collection of Wisconsin art. Its Early Wisconsin
Collection (1830-1960) is the finest anywhere and is complemented by the work of
Milwaukee native and artist Carl von Marr (1858-1936). Contemporary in-state artists
are regularly displayed through temporary exhibitions and the monthly One from Wisconsin
solo exhibition series. The MWA is open Wednesdays through Fridays, 10:00 am to
4:30 pm, Saturdays from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm, and Sundays from 1:00-4:30 pm. It is
located at 300 S. 6th Avenue, West Bend, WI.
The MWA serves the public good by collecting, conserving, documenting and exhibiting
visual art that represents the state’s unique art history throughout the ages. The
museum promotes the appreciation and creation of visual art through engaging programming
and educational resources for all ages, thereby enriching the lives of everyone
through the power of art.
MWA interns gain practical experience, marketable skills and a broad exposure to
the inner-workings of the museum. They also develop a powerful reference for future
employers in the arts & cultural and other fields. Internship opportunities vary,
but generally require a
minimum commitment of 4 hours per week. Opportunities may range from
summer only to multi-semester engagements. All individuals who would like to be
considered for the MWA internship program must: be enrolled at an institution of
higher learning, meet the minimum requirements for the position, supply a resume,

college or university to assist you in obtaining credit for your service, if you
desire.
