I really liked working with the case law database. I feel like this is an important resource for the Center, since it condenses so much information in a neat space, and working on it felt impactful and productive. It taught me how to read cases, write concise summaries, and think through legal issues surrounding art law. I have used the database both as a museum worker researching disputes and as a law student doing legal research, and in both cases I found the database educational and useful.

I have followed the Center’s work for years. It truly was a dream come true to work with Irina and Atreya for an entire year. I met incredible people, worked on amicus briefs, published articles, and worked on the Nazi-looted art database. As a law student pursuing a career in art law in New York, this experience has been invaluable. The team is one-of-a-kind, supportive, and funny. I highly recommend working with the Center, and I hope to stay involved in the future.

I would have never imagined that I could still have a meaningful summer during Covid-19, so I am immensely grateful for the opportunity that was given to me by the Center to learn more about art law and the intricacies of the art world.

A metaphor seems apt to describe the experience I had working at the Center for Art Law as a Legal Intern – with the multitude of projects assigned and hats worn, my millinery wardrobe has become outfitted for most any occasion taking place in the art law field. Longterm relationships formed, tailored skills expanded, and a couple new hats to show off.

I’m so grateful for my experience working as a legal intern this summer at the Center for Art Law. Whether conducting legal research, preparing reading materials for events, or working on the Center’s online art law resources, my assignments were educational, thought-provoking, and fun! In particular I enjoyed the interdisciplinary nature of this experience. One of the invaluable aspects of working with this summer team was the opportunity to collaborate with interns with diverse backgrounds in art history, law, and visual arts.

The Center for Art Law furthers a very important mission, because the art world is suffering from little transparency at the moment. Artists, galleries, and museums may be tainted with criminal activities, and the Center keeps people aware of what is happening.

It has been my pleasure to work at the Center for Art Law with like-minded students, meeting fascinating and accomplished artists and attorneys.

Through my internship, I have met with a great many attorneys who have generously provided me with nuggets of wisdom and advice to guide my aspirations of becoming an art lawyer.

As a Legal Intern, I quickly realized that the Center prioritizes serious research, writing, and active participation in the art law world. The Center has given me great opportunities to develop a future career in art law.

My time at the Center helped me develop a passion for art law and determination to become an art lawyer. I practiced valuable legal research and writing skills while writing my article and learned so much that I am now planning to go to law school after graduating from college.

The Center for Art Law is one of the best resources in the art law industry for the in-depth analysis of significant developments, review of books/publications and informative presentations. The Center’s written content is top-quality, well-researched, informative, relevant and timely. The Center and its founder, Irina Tarsis, are known to put together excellent educational seminars on a wide range of topics from artists’ rights to cultural repatriation.

I had a great experience interning with the Center for Art Law. I not only helped with the Center’s projects but gained valuable skills around writing, researching and networking that I know will benefit me in my future career. I would highly recommend this internship to anyone interested in the field of art law!

My 2023 Spring was well spent with the Center, despite remotely. I enjoyed the Friday mornings when all of the interns and supervisors convened to share about our week and, of course, art law! Surrounded by a group of like-minded people with different experience is fascinating for someone who wants to find an art law community. I learned so much about the field and I was truly honored to be able to connect with art law professionals.

Working as a remote legal intern based in the UK, I always felt fully integrated into the team. The Center empowered me to take on projects aligned with my interests, and I was able to contribute meaningfully to a range of initiatives within the field of art law. The entire team was wonderfully supportive, united by a genuine spirit of curiosity. Overall, a highly rewarding internship!

Phenomenal organization working at the cutting edge of art law.
