Summer Internship Opportunity

I have to admit that, in my twelve years of teaching, this placement will certainly be found amongst my highlights – I am so happy with the way it turned out for both of you...

We continue to host internship programs.  This summer the prime mentor is Bianca Message, President.  She will work with interns to create a project that will help develop their unique skills in a variety of ways.

• Interpretive planning
• scale model making
• graphic design
• illustration
• text writing
• exhibition design
• art show design and installation
• marketing
• lighting design 
...and much more.
  
More importantly, interns will learn the process of exhibition design from Storyline development to Installation.  André & Associates works with local museums, galleries and historic sites to provide hands on experiences as part of their overall project.

Internships are not paid, though sometimes honorariums are made available.  Duration of internship ranges from 1 to 8 weeks.


Interviews are currently underway for Summer internships and submissions are due May 1st.   Autumn internship applications are due September 15th.

Applications must consist of areas of interest or project ideas; portfolio (that does not have to be returned); and resume.  Please submit applications electronically to info@aaid.ca.  

OHS - Post-War Gallery opens

Here's a few scenes from the recent upgrade of the conclusion gallery of the Oregon My Oregon exhibit at the Oregon Historical Society.  The gallery has just underwent a change to better serve as a transition to the new permanent exhibit Oregon Voices opening this summer.  Oregon Voices focuses on post war Oregon issues right up to present day, so ending the Oregon My Oregon exhibit at the end of World War II works perfectly.

AAID Project Manager Michael Barnes and Three Dimensional Services installer Paul Cox completed the install last week.

Michael also popped into Sockeye to check on the progress on the A/V components for the downstairs exhibit.

AAID Designed Exhibits play supporting role in “Portlandia”

We were pretty excited to discover that the cult hit comedy show "Portlandia" had used the exhibits we designed at the Oregon Historical Society as a backdrop for this very funny sketch.  We are even more excited that they've agree to let us use a clip from this in our Oregon Culture video in the new exhibit "Oregon Voices" opening this summer at OHS.
