Internships
Zygote’s internship program is essential to our organization’s mission, and interns provide ideas and energy that are crucial to our success.
Zygote’s internship program provides participants with fulfilling experiences that have led to positions as gallery directors, shop technicians, contract printers, resident artists and adjunct positions in schools and universities.
All interns must provide proof of vaccination.

Free 24/7 access to the shop
Free Printmaking instruction
Group classes at no cost (if space is available)
Paid Teaching and community engagement opportunities
