Internship Program“My internship at Atlantic Center for the Arts was a valuable and enjoyable experience. I looked forward to interning every day at ACA because of the welcoming and friendly staff, the beautiful surroundings, and the many interesting projects I was immersed in.” Abby Olson, SUNY College at Oneonta, Oneonta, NY - Winter 2010-11 The Atlantic Center for the Arts internship program provides residential and non-residential opportunities for year-round learning experiences in arts administration to college students or graduates, with a variety of specialization options. Depending on demand, ACA internships may be competitive. Interns are expected to assist with administrative and operational duties of the organization (answering the phone, helping with office work, etc). Administrative opportunities for focus include research, exhibitions, residency program, community arts, development, graphic design, and social media. If you have a special interest or project you would like to accomplish, please propose this to us and we will direct your internship accordingly. Internships also offer an opportunity to participate as an audience member at residency and community events. Interns are encouraged to attend on and off site programs. Interns are eligible to receive college course credit for their work. Arrangements should be made with the intern's course supervisor prior to the beginning of the internship to ensure that course credit is received.
