'Capital Lives' Exhibition – The Stamp Gallery
Capital Lives explores the diversity of lived experiences in Washington, D.C., through photography. The exhibition highlights the work of young photographers documenting the residents and events of the nation’s capital during a time of heightened political tension. The artists in Capital Lives ask: What lies under the image of power? What does it mean to exist in a time when major political shifts trigger movements of both hate and of acceptance? How do artists engage with different identities in such a place and time? Capital Lives is the Stamp Gallery’s annual docent-curated exhibition, curated by gallery staff member Katherine Mullineaux (UMCP ’18), currently an undergraduate student at the University of Maryland. The exhibition is on view May 30 through July 4, 2018. An opening reception, free and open to the public, will take place at the opening reception on May 30, from 5:00 to 7:00pm. There will be refreshments served.
Opening Reception and Performance: Wednesday, May 30, 2018, 5:00–7:00pm
Exhibition: May 30––July 4, 2018
Free and open to the public
Our gallery doors are open Monday–Friday 11 am to 4 pm during the summer semester. Questions can be directed to the Gallery via this email, or our coordinator, M’kina Tapscott, at mjt3@umd.edu.

The Museum offers interns of different backgrounds incredible opportunities in a variety of fields, from public relations to exhibition research to project design. Learning from knowledgeable mentors in the dynamic atmosphere of the Museum and Washington, D.C. area, interns enjoy an intensive experience as multifaceted as the Museum itself. In addition we provide a robust set of enrichment activities that range from behind-the-scenes collection tours, career readiness workshops, director’s talks and field trips.

b. New Project – Inclusion Infusion (Accessibility) Project - This new project will provide a wide range of opportunities for visitors who are blind or have low vision to experience the Museum better. The intern will provide assistance with the four project components: creating verbal description tours, offering electronic guiding system to visitors who use AIRA, two tactile floor plans with audio, and take-away materials in braille and large print. Work will consist of testing prototypes, conducting evaluations, monitoring development of all four components.
Learning Objectives: The intern will learn the planning process involved in launching an innovative large-scale project. They will gain experience in coordinating a project across several different departments, and they will understand what is needed to serve as a Project Manager of a large project.
Comprehensive Evaluation Plan
The Intern will create systems for collecting, monitoring and reporting out evaluation data for all surveys and studies conducted. They will coordinate this with a new initiative for all Smithsonian units to collect evaluation data on outreach, engagement and impact. Conduct front-end and formative qualitative evaluations with visitors and learn to conduct rapid prototype testing.
Learning Objectives: The Intern will learn to analyze data and create original reports that will inform a wide range of staff. They will learn how to collaborate with other Smithsonian units and provide feedback data collected so that this initiative can be expanded.
The central Smithsonian Office of Fellowships and Internships (www.smithsonianofi.com) has paid internship opportunities that students can apply to and receive funding while being placed with a project at the National Museum of American History.
