Los Angeles County, through its Arts Commission, has given grants totaling $496,000 to 87 performing, literary, media and municipal arts organizations throughout Los Angeles 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 web site. Go to www.lacountyarts.org, click on Internships, then 2008 Internship Positions. Or click HERE.
Interested undergraduates should apply directly to the organization offering the internship, not the Arts Commission. College undergraduates either resident in or attending school in Los Angeles County are eligible for the internships.
Interns are paid $350 per week for ten 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.
Organizations in the County’s Second Supervisorial District offering arts internships include:
* Actors' Gang
* Association for the Advancement of Filipino American Arts & Culture
* City of Culver City
* Contra-tiempo, Inc.
* L.A. Commons
* Odyssey Theatre Foundation
* Outfest
* P.S. ARTS
* PEN Center USA
* The Unusual Suspects Theatre Company
* Yiddishkayt Los Angeles
Examples of County internship experiences include:
- A literary programs intern to work at PEN Center USA to support program development and administration, including community-based creative writing programs, curriculum development, program research, and program evaluation. The intern will also implement writing programs and work with literary professionals to enhance the literary community of Los Angeles.
- An assistant to the publicity director/marketing director to work at Odyssey Theatre Ensemble to assist in strategizing and implementing promotion campaigns for the two productions opening during the internship. Responsibilities will include reviewing the ensemble’s archive/publicity files and assisting in fundraising and publicity efforts for its 40th Anniversary.
- A festival director assistant to work at the Association for the Advancement of Filipino American Arts & Culture to support the overall operations of the festival, including production logistics, marketing, team coordination, and program wrap-up.
