DC Arts Center, a non-profit organization devoted to supporting local and emerging artists, seeks summer interns. With a 750 square foot gallery and a 50 seat black box theater, DCAC provides a professional venue for visual and theater artists, and provides structured programs through which artists in all media can practice both the craft and business of art. An internship at DCAC provides the opportunity to become familiar with the workings of a small, non-profit, arts organization, an opportunity that is especially beneficial for emerging artists, curators, up-and-coming theater professionals and anyone interested in arts administration. As a twenty-year presence in DC's visual art and theater world, DCAC provides a stepping stone to the city's broader arts scene. Interns are exposed to the broad range of visual and performing arts events happening in DCAC's gallery and theater and attend DCAC events for free.
DCAC's interns gain experience in a broad range of areas related to arts administration.
General intern duties include running our facebook and tumblr page, our twitter account, and all creating and mailing all press releases. You may be asked to perform daily administrative tasks such as filing and answering phones. There is also the possibility for interns with particular interests to develop individual projects in areas such as graphic design, development, or web design.
Normal intern hours are Wednesday through Friday, from 2-7pm. Ideally, interns will be available for all of these hours, although arrangements can be made for shorter hours if necessary. College credit can be arranged for interns who are available to work all of the above hours. An interest in the arts is a must!
