Arts Apprentice Internships (18-25)
Arts Aspire is a grant-funded program offered by the Art and Culture Center/Hollywood. In 2019, the program expanded to offer the Arts Apprentice program, giving young adults ages 18-25 interested in the arts the chance to receive real-life job experiences and stipends for the work they complete. These valuable experiences build confidence and readiness for future, full-time work opportunities, no matter the field or focus.
The program is divided into two sessions, the School-Year Session and the Summer Session.
Our Arts Apprentices spend the School-Year Session working with their Art and Culture Center supervisors from the Education, Marketing, and/or Exhibitions department two to three times a week on time-sensitive projects in preparation for ongoing programs.
In the Summer, Arts Apprentices in the Education and Marketing Departments work full time Monday-Friday* supporting our Summer Arts Camp. In the Exhibitions Department, interns support with scheduling and leading tours of our gallery for groups of all ages and helping coordinate future exhibitions.
