Meet Your Interns

Our first intern is Rachel Saran! She is currently a student at University of South Carolina studying Philosophy and Art History. Rachel first got experience at 701 CCA by volunteering through the installation of the SC Fellows exhibit. Her focused interests in the intersection of law, philosophy, and art have allowed her to work on different behind-the-scenes projects at 701 CCA involved in the logistics of running a gallery. Rachel's interests in the operational tasks around the gallery have given her a chance to work with the installations, policies and grants, and assisting in operating events and receptions! Rachel hopes to continue to volunteer at 701 CCA past the expiration of the internship, as she feels that 701 CCA has afforded her uniquely important learning experiences she can carry through her career.






Megan Roe is our second intern. Megan is currently studying Art History at the University of South Carolina. Megan first became involved with 701 CCA through volunteer work. “I was immediately drawn to 701 CCA's vision for Columbia’s art community, the revolving exhibits from so many diverse artists, and all of the great events too", says Megan. This summer Megan has loved spending time with our summer camp workshops inside of 701 CCA's renovated artist loft. “I love watching the kids get so excited about their artwork, and at the end of the week take home a piece that they are really proud of". She particularly enjoys participating in hands on activities, which translates to her interest in the installations and sculptures that have been displayed in recent exhibitions. Megan plans to continue volunteering at 701 CCA once this summer internship comes to an end.





Our third intern is Savannah Cagle. Savannah is currently a senior at the University of South Carolina. She is graduating early in the Fall of 2018 with a undergraduate degree. She will be receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a concentration in drawing. Savannah started off volunteering at 701 CCA, and then applied for the internship when she heard of its creation. She thought it would give her a good amount of insight into the world of art which she had yet to experience, and learn some much needed skills. She hopes to use these newly acquired skills in the future. Currently, Savannah has been working mostly on boosting 701 CCA's web presence, and working on ways to market themselves better. 701 CCA is an amazing place, and Savannah is just trying to get more of the world to see it.

Summer Internship at 701 CCA

Summer Internship at 701 CCA My summer spent interning with 701 Center for Contemporary Art has been a valuable learning experience. It was very rewarding to work with a nonprofit organization that emphasizes the importance of contemporary art and its role in the community. The ability to complete unique and wide-ranging projects within the organization is what I enjoyed most about the internship. It was exciting to be completing useful and necessary projects, rather than just busy-work. Throughout the internship, I have gained experience in many different fields relating to marketing, research, and gallery management.  Installing Mana Hewitt: Persistence My marketing projects included press releases, social media marketing, graphic design, and website development. One of my favorite marketing projects was designing a new business card for 701 CCA and fliers for our youth summer camps, as it gave me the opportunity to utilize my photoshop skills for professional use.

My Spring 2019 Internship!

My 701 CCA Experience When Hannah offered me the position as one of the spring interns for 701 CCA, I was so excited. At the first intern meeting in February, I met the other two interns, Cole and Erich, and we discussed what we would be working on during the next several months. I was happy to hear that there were opportunities to try different things regarding installation, marketing and social media, and events. During the first week of the internship, I worked to organize the preexisting donor database that was a compilation of records and documents from the past ten years of 701 CCA. Over the next few weeks, I learned how to use MailChimp, post 701 CCA events on local online calendars, draft content for the youth summer workshops and more. I learned a lot about the day to day communications that are essential to the organization.   The next project that I worked on was helping Hannah install the South Arts 2019 Southern Prize and State Fellows exhibit
