Diversity in Arts Leadership Internship Program Summer 2017

The Arts & Business Council of New York will offer its Diversity in Arts Leadership (DIAL) internship program for the 25th year in 2017. DIAL is an investment in building a more equitable arts management field. The program has placed more than 230 students from across the country into 110 arts nonprofit organizations in NYC to develop leadership in the business of the arts.

DIAL provides college students working towards careers in the arts or business sectors with a hands-on introduction to arts nonprofits in New York City. The Arts & Business Council of New York matches undergraduate students from underrepresented backgrounds with energetic host arts organizations and business mentors, who guide students’ personal and professional growth throughout the summer.

Arts management interns are carefully chosen from a competitive nationwide pool of students and granted, paid, full-time, ten-week-long internships at multidisciplinary arts organizations. To ensure an immersive and well-rounded experience, the summer includes:

Full time work placement at a New York City arts nonprofit
Summer stipend and transportation cards
Weekly group site visits to all intern host sites
Monthly professional development workshops and cultural outings
A private sector mentor

The Diversity in Arts Leadership internship program is designed to promote and advance diversity in the field of arts management and thus seeks candidates from traditionally under-represented backgrounds. In its review of candidates, ABC/NY will give preference to these applicants.

Salary (amount and hourly/monthly/yearly):

$3,200 stipend
