A new group of positions have been posted to our website for the 2021 LA County Arts Internship Program! Please visit LACountyArts.org/internships/2021 to apply.
In light of COVID-19, here are some of the critical changes we made to support students interested in participating:
- Extended internship window: The program has been extended from a “summer” program typically held from June through August to more of a year-round format. Interns will be able to work from May 31, 2021 through March 1, 2022.
- Internships will be posted on a rolling basis: Interns should check our website at the beginning of each month starting on April 1 through August 2 as new positions will be posted.
- More flexible work parameters: Grantee organizations may elect to have interns work as few as 15 hours a week, and interns may be able to work from home for a portion of their hours.
- Opportunities to connect! Interns will not be working in isolation and will be able to attend monthly virtual events to meet leaders in the field of arts and culture, network with one another, experience arts and culture and more.
We hope these changes will allow for our organizations and interns to have the best experience possible given the circumstances.
If you are in contact with interested students, please let them know to visit our website for this second group of available positions. Students will apply directly to the host organizations via the information found on our website. Positions will be posted on our website starting April 1, 2021and will continue to be posted on a rolling basis at the beginning of each month through August 2021.
