A paid opportunity for young students from diverse disciplines to participate in the exciting world of museums and arts organizations by introducing them to the whole gamut of activities that go into building audience engagement around an exhibition or programme.

In addition to hands-on work experience, selected participants have access to a year-long learning module—with a series of workshops by leaders from arts organizations, culminating in a weekend programme designed and implemented by the participants, with the support of the DAG Museums team.

For many the apprenticeship programme is the first immersion in cultural work, opening career pathways in the field of art and art history. For others, the programme creates a community of lifelong arts and culture enthusiasts, while also honing professional skills.
For the last edition of the Apprenticeship Programme during DAG's annual 'The City as a Museum' festival, participants explored a variety of activities—from research and writing, to production, outreach, communications and documentation.
