Become a Creative Time Intern
Creative Time is New York’s veteran and vanguard public art organization. We accept applications for our fall, spring, and summer internship programs. Our interns gain hands-on experience developing research, producing projects, and contributing to organizational goals. Our interns participate in internal and external planning meetings, attend staff presentations, and travel to local cultural institutions.
We encourage undergraduate, graduate, and recent graduates (within the last year) to apply. International applicants will be considered but must make their own visa, travel, and accommodation arrangements and be authorized to work in the United States. Selection for the internship program is made on the basis of the applicant’s interest and motivation in working for Creative Time, demonstrated ability to contribute to a team setting, and commitment to a meaningful work experience.
We are now accepting applications for an Arts Administration Intern who will work with the Executive Department for the Fall of 2025. Interns should be based in the New York City area and able to work in our offices or at local project sites for the duration of the program, Tuesday, September 9 through Thursday, December 4, 2025. Interns must be able to work between Tuesday and Thursdays, and receive two weeks of break during the program. We prefer a 24 hour per week commitment for our internships, but we also consider applicants that can offer a minimum of 16 hours per week. All interns will be paid a stipend based on a 16-24 hour week. For a 16 hr work week, a $2904 stipend and for a 24 hour work week, a $4356 stipend. The number of hours per week will be set and determined by the intern and the CT team before the internship begins.
Creative Time is an Equal Opportunity employer and diversity is important to us. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion or creed, gender, gender identity or expression, familial status, sexual orientation, disability, national origin, ability, age, arrest, or pre-employment conviction record, or military status.
