Internship at RvB Arts Gallery

This unique gallery, located in the heart of Rome near the Tiber River, exhibits the work of emerging Italian artists. A boring “white walls” environment? This gallery is filled with the spirit of art! The pieces on exhibit are created by artists using different techniques and media; shows include sculpture, photography, and many styles of painting. Another singularity is that the gallery cooperates with an antique store, “Antiquariato Valligiano” which exhibits rare and antique furniture mixed in with the works of art. This adds an atmosphere of comfort and increases a visitor’s immersion in the world of Art.

The gallery is located in the city centre and inside a marvelous Roman palazzo.

I’m an Art History student with a Business of Art concentration, therefore, the gallery internship was a very fruitful and important experience for me. I had previously interned at an art newspaper and a museum, but never at a gallery. I found the environment and dynamics very different.
