artNESZ’s Art Volunteer Program for the POWER LINES Exhibition

In connection with the POWER LINES – Mercedes-Benz Art Collection exhibition, which will be on view in Budapest in the summer of 2026, artNESZ has developed a new art volunteer and professional internship program related to the exhibition’s operations.

A Volunteer Program Tailored to the Exhibition

We developed the volunteer program with the specific characteristics of the exhibition and the venue in mind. artNESZ is responsible for designing the volunteer concept, recruiting and selecting participants, training them, and coordinating the program. The concept goes beyond traditional exhibition supervision: it simultaneously supports the operational implementation of the project, enhances the visitor experience, and fosters the development of the next generation of professionals in the cultural sector. In addition to tasks that support the exhibition’s operations, it offers genuine professional experience to those who wish to become more familiar with the world of contemporary visual arts.
