We are seriously committed to education and access at the IAO, so believe us when we say that this will not be one of those coffee-getting, abuse-taking, data entry heavy internships (we’ve been there, and they suck). Rather, we are committed to creating a supportive experience, with the opportunity to learn all about running an arts non-profit, and to develop your own creative ideas in a supportive and honest environment. Consider it a new version of the old fashioned concept of apprenticeship.
In exchange for your time and service you will receive:
- The opportunity to help shape a fast-growing emergent arts organization
- The chance to work with all-star cast of artists and institutions
- A supportive environment with open access to our collective knowledge base
- A deep understanding of what it takes to run an arts-based non-profit (your parents will thank us when you run screaming to the financial sector, instead)
