Studio Internship Position — New York

My name is Dominik Tarabański, and I’m an artist working between fine art and commercial fields. I’m also the Creative Director of a Parisian jewelry brand. I’m looking for a studio intern with a proactive attitude, strong organizational skills, and a serious commitment to learning.

Working on multiple projects simultaneously, I operate at a fast and often highly demanding creative pace. This requires focus, flexibility, and daily multitasking.

I keep myself busy and expect the same from the people I work with. I guarantee hands-on experience and active involvement across a wide range of projects, including upcoming exhibitions, commissioned work, and ongoing studio practice. You can learn more about my work here.

— upcoming exhibition, Autumn/Winter 2026, Paris
— upcoming exhibition, Winter 2026, Los Angeles
— photo book publication project in progress
— daily studio practice, production tasks, and studio visits

What I’m looking for and must-haves

— strong work ethic, discipline, and the same hunger to learn that I expect from myself
— genuine interest in art, photography, design, and visual culture
— ideally an art school student or recent graduate with a hands-on, practical orientation
— high level of attention to detail and strong written and verbal communication etiquette
— natural readiness to interact with collaborators and people around the studio
— comfort with manual, physical tasks and learning to use new tools when needed
— valid driving license and confidence driving in New York City

Responsibilities

— photo shoot production work
— help with project-related research and practical problem-solving
— project-related errands and tasks around the city
— working primarily alongside me in my Brooklyn atelier
— some tasks can be done remotely when appropriate

Logistics

Hopefully, this gives you a clear sense of the scope of work and the range of tasks connected to each project. This is a flexible-time, hybrid position, starting with a half-time trial period of approximately three months. If it’s a good mutual fit, this internship may evolve into a studio assistant role in the future.

To do

If this sounds like a good fit, please send an email to internship@tarabanski.com introducing yourself. I’m not looking for a generic cover letter. Instead, tell me what interests you about this opportunity and my work, what you’re curious to learn, and share something you discovered recently that inspired you, an artist, a book, an exhibition, or a project. Please include your resume and a portfolio, website, or school work if available.

Benefits

School credit may be available depending on your institution. You’ll gain direct, hands-on experience within an active New York–based art practice, with insight into exhibitions, production, and the day-to-day realities of working as an independent artist. I’m also happy to support your development through guidance, feedback, and, when appropriate, access to studio tools or resources as part of that learning process.
