The Trout Museum of Art is something all current Lawrentians know of, as it shares a building with West Campus. But, what do they do? And how can current students get involved?
Mission statement: The Trout Museum of Art connects all people through visual art experiences. We support artists, nurture creativity, and cultivate dialogue that strengthens art education and enriches the cultural life of our community.
Values: Inclusive, Creative, Authentic, and Curious
Vision statement: We lead a state-of-the-art museum that serves as a vibrant center of connection, where people come together to experience the power of art.
What they are: An art museum focused on inspiring and connecting the Appleton community. They feature many exhibitions (sometimes featuring Lawrence faculty!), classes, amd events for the public. They also have a drinkery on the inside and a wonderful study space right when you walk in.
How can a Lawrentian get involved?: They offer plenty of internships! Let’s dive deeper.
Who should apply?: Juniors and seniors are preferred, but anyone can apply! As well, students interested in museums, arts management, education, marketing, publishing, retail, or events/Art at the Park should apply. No museum experience is required either, just a curiosity and passion for the arts!
All you have to do is look on their website, scroll down until you see “staff and careers”, and there you go! Good luck Lawrentians!
