julia at 40 acres
At my internship at 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks, I worked with Spike Lee's personal collection of art, sports memorabilia, and audiovisual material. I researched new acquisitions and catalogued them using the collection management system CatalogIt. I also participated in intaking the items loaned out to the Brooklyn Museum for the Spike Lee: Creative Sources exhibit, and aided in returning them to their original places in the office building, personally handling paintings, photographs, and other ephemera. This internship was a wonderful experience in learning how to manage a private collection, and implement best practices in a smaller institution.
