THE BLANTON STUDENT GUILD

The Blanton Student Guild is a University of Texas at Austin registered student organization whose mission is to share The Blanton's resources with university students and to serve as ambassadors in the Austin community. Guild members are UT students interested in learning about art in a relaxed atmosphere while having fun. The Guild consists of three different branches:

• Docent – The Docent program trains students to provide engaging, interactive tours to other college students.
• Student Advisory Committee (SAC) – Members evaluate student programs and brainstorm creative new ideas about how best to reach out to students through innovative programs and events they would enjoy.
• Volunteer – Volunteers provide much–needed help for community projects and special events for families, students, and the public.

 

Benefits of Membership:

THE BLANTON INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

The Blanton offers several paid yearlong internships for UT graduate students. Students work on a range of interesting projects throughout the year, often focusing on independent research in the second semester. The museum also occasionally offers flexible, unpaid graduate and undergraduate internships based on departmental needs. For a more detailed description of the program please visit the Internship page.

 

OPPORTUNITIES FOR CAMPUS GROUPS
