In 2007 Outset initiated the Zoo intern scheme aimed at helping support young art world professionals. Through the Zoo Art Fair Internship Scheme, people still studying for their first degree, engaged in post-graduate studies or just out of college, acquired in-depth experience in the management of a rapidly expanding, lively, international art fair – gaining an understanding of how the independent art market works, as well as about individual exhibitors, including galleries, project spaces and publications.
The Internship Scheme provided an opportunity for students and/or recent graduates to find out more about the contemporary art world and what their role in it might be.
