Student Opportunities
Center Space Project
Center Space Project (CSP) is a student-run arts organization that collaborates with the Visual Arts Center and local arts institutions to present public programs, exhibitions, performances, and workshops that reflect ideas and issues debated by the UT community and Austin public. Each year, CSP collaborates with the VAC to present an exhibition and series of public programs in the Center Space Gallery, a large exhibition space wherein CSP curators and organizers produce museum-quality projects.

Gallery Assistants
The Visual Arts Center’s Gallery Assistants welcome visitors to the gallery each day and provide information about current exhibitions. They also assist with daily operations and special events. Our team of Gallery Assistants comprises undergraduate students from the College of Fine Arts and other departments across campus. Open positions are posted on Handshake at the beginning of each semester, and applications are welcome from all students who qualify for the federal work-study program.
Curatorial Fellows
Curatorial Fellows are PhD candidates in Art History. Fellows provide curatorial and administrative support for VAC exhibitions and programs and are responsible for organizing their own exhibition at the Visual Arts Center in the fall following their fellowship. One Curatorial Fellowship is awarded each year, and applications are accepted in the spring semester. All past exhibitions organized by curatorial fellows are included in our exhibition archive.
