internship opportunities
The Arts & Business Council of New York (ABC/NY) recognizes that on-the-job experience can play an important role in advancing careers. Likewise, we know that our organization benefits from the creativity and curiosity of students and professionals who join our ranks. We welcome your application and look forward to learning more about your interests and aspirations.
Fall and winter/spring ABC/NY internships are part of a larger program administered by our national parent organization, Americans for the Arts. Please visit the Americans for the Arts Internship and Career Development Opportunities page to view all of the internships available through this program.
Please be aware that this program is entirely separate from ABC/NY's summer Multicultural Arts Management Internship Program.
The Internship Program offers undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to investigate and participate in the operations of a leading service organization dedicated to building mutually-beneficial partnerships between the arts and business communities. Interns become integral members of our team and are expected to participate in daily activities, contribute skills and ideas, and produce excellent work, all the while preparing to become the next generation of arts, nonprofit, and cultural leaders.
Internship positions are available on a part-time basis for the fall and winter/spring terms. Interns receive a modest stipend.
