Entering my senior year, I felt it was imperative to have new experiences within the art world, and that is exactly what Brandywine has offered me. During my summer, I dedicated many hours in the archives, which houses prints from artists I have dreamt of seeing. I curated my own exhibition, ‘Keith Morrison: A Peripatetic’s Confrontations’, received first-hand accounts and lessons from Brandywine’s founder
Allan Edmonds, created checklists and observed different printmaking techniques from master printers. Additionally, I managed the highschool Bloomberg Arts interns; educating them on relevant art history topics, aided in the planning of Brandywine’s exhibit at the upcoming Armory Show, helped with exhibition openings, created social media content, photographed events, visited many local art institutions and I even learned how to frame artwork for my exhibition! A highlight was traveling to Baltimore to speak with museum professionals and tour an artist’s studio. Overall, this experience has been beyond supportive of my aspirations, and every day has been a gift. I am excited to continue my internship through the school year. Thank you, Brandywine, for your ongoing support and for creating such a dynamic and special experience for me.

Haeley has become an invaluable part of the Brandywine Workshop and Archives team. From her first days with us, she dove straight into our archives, quickly learning the organization’s history and collection. Beyond her contributions to the archives, she worked closely with our leadership team on every initiative this summer, bringing fresh insight and a current perspective to our work.

Watching her step into the role of curator, planning her own exhibition, and putting her academic knowledge into practice has been one of the highlights of the summer. Through her exhibition, she will remain part of our space long after she returns to Spelman. Haeley’s work ethic, ambition, and genuine enthusiasm for what she does are matched only by her willingness to jump in and help wherever needed. Her positive energy has brightened our days and made the work better for everyone around her. She has been a positive role model for our high school interns as well, giving them art history lessons and inspiring them to achieve and dream more. We are endlessly grateful to have been connected with her and look forward to seeing her growth in her very bright future. Happy National Intern Day Haeley!!!!

The highlight of my Summer 2026 internship was gaining hands-on experience with archival research and digital preservation through the H-DAP project. Working with historical materials related to African Diaspora art and contributing to the documentation of HBCU collections helped me better understand the role museums play in preserving and sharing cultural histories. This experience strengthened my interest in exhibition coordination and provided valuable skills that will support my future career in the museum field.

The highlight of my summer internship so far has definitely been getting to interact with Faith Ringgold’s incredible personal archive. Through this experience I have learned so much about a giant. Her practice, her ambition, her dedication to full representation, her community, women, educators and the way she crafts reverence for Black people is not only aspirational but cathartic. I love going to work everyday, because it feels like being enveloped in a love letter to Blackness, one that both respects and challenges us. This experience has contributed deeply to my professional development as I’ve learned so much about the operations of a foundation and the joy and responsibility of an archivist. I have really appreciated being part of the ALC collective, because it is a network of artist foundations which has provided community and the opportunity to learn and grow alongside peers in this field.

Interns contribute most to the environment by assisting with the day to day logistics of running a nonprofit arts organization. Sitting in on meetings, doing research for potential partners/donors, and sharing ideas to help differentiate our brand from others. One of the things that I most enjoy is being able to form a mentorship professionally and personally with my interns. I love the idea of being a mentor for life to continue the trajectory of BIPOC in the fine art space.

During my internship, I have expanded my professional network through facilitating events, designing programs (panels, workshops, conversations), and helping with brand strategy. A highlight of working with Flourish in Chicago was my supervisors connections which enabled me to visit the Obama Presidential Center Museum!

I was also able to shadow the Director of Gallery Activations, Sam Ramos, at The Art Institute of Chicago.

The highlight of my summer internship has been working with the artist collective initiative. It’s a collective of artists commissioned to lead a workshop, class, or tour of their choice. I have been responsible for the social media posts, making flyers, coordinating with artists and organizational partners, capturing content and giving tours at all 3 sculpture sites. This internship has primed me to love systems while prioritizing the storytelling aspect of our mission through each activation, IG story post, blog post, and tour we give. Working closely with the co founders, I’ve gotten one on one feedback and guidance throughout the experience and that has been valuable.
