This opportunity provides two individuals with a three-month intensive internship with one of North Carolina's local arts councils or arts centers under the supervision of the executive director or staff member who will help the intern design a training program within the spectrum of community arts administration. Interns receive a $5,000 stipend to cover living expenses. The intensive, supervised program is designed to introduce community arts administration skills including learning organizational structure, planning, fundraising, grant writing, financial management, marketing, programming, publicity and promotion, and building interagency relationships. The specific location is based in part on interns' expressed interests and the nature of the operations of the host organizations. Applicants must have at least a bachelor's degree and demonstrate a strong interest in a career in community arts administration. About 75 percent of internship recipients have eventually been placed in full-time arts positions. Internships are scheduled for a three month period between September 1, 2010, and June 30, 2011.
