County Funding Summer Internships at Local Arts Organizations
From
staff reports
Los Angeles
County, through its Arts Commission, has given grants totaling $496,000
to 87 performing, literary, media and municipal arts organizations
throughout the county to support paid internships for college undergraduates
in summer 2008.
Descriptions of and contacts for the 124 internship positions are posted
on the Arts Commission’s Website. Go to www.lacountyarts.org,
click on Internships, then 2008 Internship Positions. The direct link
is lacountyarts.org/internship_2008.pdf
Interested undergraduates should apply directly to the organization
offering the internship, not the Arts Commission. General information
on the internship program is also available on the Website.
College undergraduates either residing in and/or attending school in
Los Angeles County are eligible for the internships. Interns are paid
$350 per week for 10 weeks and take part in educational and arts networking
activities. Through the program, interns gain a deeper understanding
of the work involved in nonprofit arts administration and the role
of the arts in a community, and develop business skills that can be
put to use in their future careers. Internship host organizations help
mold and shape potential new workers in the arts field who may go on
to arts leadership positions on staffs, boards or as volunteers.
