International universities or institutions are invited to offer positions in the Internship Program at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection as an integrated part of their courses.

The university can reward one or more candidates with a placement in the International Internship Program at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and include this collaboration in its own curriculum. The museum benefits from excellent candidates selected directly by their universities. Current collaborations are listed below. A donation of €1500 a month for each candidate covers the contribution towards the student’s expenses, as well as program costs and overheads.

The Guggenheim UK Charitable Trust is a charitable foundation based in the United Kingdom which supports the mission of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and of its Venice branch, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.

The Trust aims to raise funds each year in order to build a capital reserve from which to provide stable funding for the UK participants in the International Internship Program and contribute to other capital projects of the Foundation, especially those that advance the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. We are very grateful to the Trustees and other UK donors for the time and effort they spend to promote the work of the Trust and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation.

In 2023, the Trust sponsored 17 students from the UK who came from a diverse range of backgrounds. The International Internship Program delivers vital inspiration to young people as they start out on their careers in the art world and makes a lasting impact on their career development.
