Latino Museum Studies Program

The LMSP Undergraduate Internship is a program providing hands-on training opportunities for undergraduate students, focusing on the areas of conservation, museum education, digital culture, and exhibition design. With generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, LMSP partners with select universities to diversify opportunities in museum studies and practice.  

The Latino Museum Studies Program-Vincent Price Art Museum (LMSP-VPAM) Internship is a winter-term program open to East Los Angeles College students interested in learning more about the museum field. The program gives interns hands-on opportunities to mirror and expand upon their experience at the Vincent Price Art Museum. 

The LMSP Graduate Summer Fellowship brings together a cohort of graduate students to explore the representation and interpretation of Latina/o/x cultures in the context of the American experience. Fellows contribute to a Latino project at the Smithsonian, while also engaging with Smithsonian professionals, scholars, and leaders in the museum field.  

The LMSP Fellowships support independent scholars with opportunities to conduct research at various Smithsonian museums and centers. Pre-doctoral Fellowships and Postdoctoral opportunities are available to doctoral candidates and scholars for up to seven years beyond the Ph.D.
