Internship Program

"It's a great experience because it exposes you to the art world in a way that art school never can. Atlantic Center doesn't just dabble either, you jump right in and interact daily with some of the most influential
names in art."

Mike Hall, Alfred University, Alfred, NY, Summer 1994

"My time at Atlantic Center was truly amazing. Fun and friendly coworkers, endless learning opportunities, and a gorgeous environment all made ACA an idyllic place to be an intern."

Casey Brazeal, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA, Summer 2001

The Atlantic Center internship program provides individuals a learning experience in arts administration in exchange for housing on the studio complex. If the internship should fall during a residency, then weekday meals are also provided. Please consult the website for the most recent residency calendar.

Potential interns should forward a resume and a brief description of what they expect from the program and what dates they can participate. All interns are expected to be available 9 - 5 Monday through Friday. They are also expected to assist with all operational duties of the organization (answering the phone, helping with office work, etc). There will also be opportunities to help with community and/or residency arts programs. If you have a special interest or project you would like to accomplish, please propose this to us and we will work with you. Individual studio time however, is not available as an internship. If you would like to work in the studios, you should apply for a residency or consider renting studio space.

Interns are eligible to receive college course credit for their work. Arrangements should be made with the intern's course supervisor prior to the beginning of the internship to ensure that course credit is received.
