From 2008 the Peggy Guggenheim Collection internship program includes a new scholarship dedicated to the late Alice Stone Ilchman, former director of the Jeanette K. Watson Fellowship. Alice Ilchman was a celebrated educator who over the years supported and helped countless young people, supervising them in their professional development. Thanks to a generous contribution from the Ilchman family, henceforth one outstanding student intern each year will be selected for the Alice Stone Ilchman Scholarship. This scholarship enables a young student of art, art history or museum studies to participate for three months in Peggy Guggenheim Collection operations and educational programs, with a stipend of €850 per month.   TESTIMONIAL   Olujimi Akili Tommasino Alice Stone Ilchman intern June-August 2008 For an aspiring museum professional, my internship at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection was the opportunity of a lifetime. I gained a wealth of knowledge over the brief period of three months. My presentations on the museum's uniquely comprehensive and internationally acclaimed collection broadened my understanding of modern art as did my participation in the seminar component of the program in which I both taught and learned from my fellow interns. I benefited from the shared expertise of the magnanimous staff while collaborating on a host of special projects. Central to this overwhelmingly positive experience was my immersion in the culture of the beautiful city of Venice. I will ever be thankful to the Ilchman family for making this dream a reality.   credits: Hangar Design Group
