2010 Summer Internship Program application now available. Deadline April 7, 2010

The Los Angeles County Arts Commission is pleased to announce the launch of the 2010 Summer Internship Program application.



LOS ANGELES COUNTY ARTS INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

The purpose of the County’s program is to provide undergraduate students with meaningful on-the-job training and experience in working in nonprofit arts organizations, while assisting arts organizations to develop future arts leaders and advocates. Through this program, students develop a deeper understanding of the work involved in nonprofit arts administration, better understand the role of the arts in a community and develop “real life” business skills that can be put to use in their future careers.
