Graphic Designer – Internship (Unpaid)
Location: London (Brick Lane) / Remote
Type: Part-time, Internship
About Galleria Objets
Galleria Objets is an independent art gallery and project space on Brick Lane, London, dedicated to contemporary art, design, and cross-disciplinary experimentation. We host exhibitions, events, pop-ups and collaborations with artists, brands and cultural organisations from the UK and abroad.
We are looking for a Graphic Design Intern to support our visual communication and help shape the gallery’s visual identity across print and digital.
Role Overview
This is an unpaid internship intended as a learning opportunity for someone at the beginning of their career (e.g. student or recent graduate) who wants hands‑on experience in the art and culture sector.
You will work closely with the Gallery Director and collaborators on a variety of visual assets for exhibitions and events, including:
* Exhibition posters, flyers and social media assets
* Website visuals and basic layouts (in collaboration with our web support)
* Simple motion graphics or animated assets (if applicable to your skills)
* Decks and PDFs for partners, sponsors and collaborators
* On‑site signage: captions, wall vinyls, wayfinding, price lists, etc.
Time commitment: 1–3 days per week (flexible), for an initial period of 3 months, with the possibility to extend by mutual agreement.
Responsibilities
* Translate exhibition concepts into clear, engaging visuals for print and digital
* Prepare artwork files for print (export, bleed, formats) and for web (sizes, ratios)
* Maintain consistency with the gallery’s visual identity while experimenting with new ideas
* Adapt designs to different platforms (Instagram, stories, newsletter, website, etc.)
* Organise and archive design files for easy reuse and future projects
* Occasionally take part in openings/events to capture content or test on‑site materials
Ideal Profile
We’re looking for someone who:
* Is studying or has recently completed a degree / course in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, or a related field
* Has good knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) or equivalent tools (Figma, Affinity, etc.)
* Has a strong interest in contemporary art, culture, design and visual identities
* Is comfortable working with bold colours, typography and experimental layouts
* Is organised, reliable and able to manage their own time and deadlines
* Is based in London or able to join us occasionally at the gallery (Brick Lane), though remote collaboration is also possible
A portfolio (PDF or website) is essential – it doesn’t need to be huge, just a selection that shows your taste and range.
What You Will Gain
* Real‑world experience designing for a working gallery and active programme
* Portfolio‑ready projects for exhibitions, events and collaborations
* Insight into how an independent art space operates behind the scenes
* Direct mentorship and feedback from the Gallery Director and collaborators
* Credits on selected materials and, where possible, public recognition on our channels

Through the form below including:
* A short introduction (who you are, what you’re interested in, why Galleria Objets)
* Your CV or a brief summary of your background
* A link to your portfolio or a PDF (max 15 MB)
* Please attach as many examples as possible that represent your work and visual essence (posters, layouts, typography explorations, animations, branding, moodboards, experimental work, etc.)
