Thank you for your interest in the Museum of Outdoor Arts' Design and Build Internship.
Design and Build is a public art paid internship program.  Interns will work with lead artist in residence on a public art installtion from concept to fruition.  Since 1991, the Museum of Outdoor Arts' Design and Build program has provided an opportunity for young Colorado artists, students and creative minds to express their creativity in collaborative public art projects.

Assisted by professional artists in residence, Design and Build participants produce exciting and original art works for public space in the Denver metro area. Interns find creative solutions to practical challenges as they master the skills to transform their creative ideas into finished pieces.

The program generates temporary public art and offers lessons in teamwork, problem-solving and aesthetic and technical considerations. From concept to installation, students must consider all elements of the public art process, including environmental concern, safety, budgeting, project design, proposal writing, maquette making, construction, installation and removal.

When installed, Design and Build artworks enliven the everyday life of the community.

If you are a high school senior or undergraduate student and are excited to cross train in different areas of the artistic process, then this is the program for you!  Read on to learn more about each component.
