125 Art Related Internships this Summer in LA County

25 Paid Summer Internships in the Arts Available through the Los Angeles County Arts Internship Program

Los Angeles County, through its Arts Commission, has given grants totaling $500,000 to 95 performing, literary, media and municipal arts organizations throughout Los Angeles County to support paid internships for college undergraduates in summer 2009.

Descriptions of and contacts for the 125 internship positions are posted on the Arts Commission's web site. Go to www.lacountyarts.org, click on Internships, then 2009 Internship Positions.

Eligibility requirements for the internships have been expanded in 2009. Graduating seniors who complete their undergraduate degrees by September 1, 2009 are eligible, as well as undergraduates. Applicants must have completed at least one semester of college by June 2009 and be currently enrolled (full-time) in a community college or a four-year university. Applicants must be a resident in and/or attending school in Los Angeles County.



Interns are paid $350 per week, for 40 hours a week, for 10 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.

Interested undergraduates should apply directly to the organization offering the internship, not the Arts Commission. General information on the internship program is also available at http://www.lacountyarts.org/internship.html.

his year’s photography competition will call on amateur and professional photographers to submit photos of recession-conscious trends in four categories: fashion, food, home/lifestyle, and graphic arts. Just like Scarlett O’Hara’s famous curtain dress, fashionable consumer goods nowadays rely on creative repurposing and innovatively inexpensive fabrics for the budget- and environmentally-conscious American consumer. Original photos that celebrate actual products or fantasy products and lifestyle, whether unique or mass-produced, are sought for this year’s competition. Photos of an advertising or editorial nature are both acceptable. Black and white or color photos are acceptable. Photos may have text incorporated in the photo (i.e. an advertising slogan), or in the graphic arts category, be the logo that signifies the product or service. The entry form will allow for text describing the photo(s) in greater detail.
