From museums to symphonies, theaters to dance companies, artistic studios to film sets and international festivals, the Arts Internship Honors Fellowship puts students in the heart of the action. Internship sites offer real world experience and professional connections at a critical time in early careers. Students will hone their craft, learn valuable context, develop their business and arts management skills, and learn critical funding streams to support creative endeavors while being mentored in the field by distinguished practicing artists and arts administrators.

Examples of opportunities include spending a summer in Chapel Hill working with and learning from dramatists, costume designers and/or set designers at PlayMakers Repertory Company, interning with an alumnus who is an art dealer in London, or a mentorship with Madison Wells, a film company in Los Angeles. Students are encouraged to apply for placements with arts practitioners or arts-related businesses domestically or abroad.
