What happened

Beyond the gallery: Internship program paints a bright future for art history students Students in the humanities are often warned that there are few career prospects in the arts.

Why it matters

But a booming internship program based in the department of art history in the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Arts & Science is fast challenging that notion.

Common ground

With placements at organizations ranging from the Aga Khan Museum to Archives of Ontario and the Toronto Society of Architects, the program is helping students explore the many opportunities available in the arts and culture sphere.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
