The Constitutional Court Trust in Johannesburg has opened applications for a paid six-month curatorial internship focused on the Constitutional Court Art Collection. The internship runs from July to December 2026 and is open to South African citizens or residents under 30 who hold a qualification in visual arts or heritage and have no prior full-time work experience. Tasks include assisting with artwork rotations, cataloguing, conservation support, and research. Applications are due by 14 June 2026, and shortlisted candidates will be interviewed on 25 June 2026.
This opportunity matters because it provides early-career professionals with hands-on experience in curatorial work within a unique institutional context—the Constitutional Court of South Africa, where art is used to promote human rights, constitutionalism, and public education. The internship offers a rare chance to engage with a significant collection of South African artworks while contributing to the intersection of art and justice, making it a valuable pathway for emerging museum and gallery professionals in the region.
