Become a Creative Time Intern
Creative Time is looking for a superstar team of interns for 2020! Besides gaining hands-on experience producing projects, developing research, and contributing to organizational goals, interns will also participate in both internal and external planning meetings, attend staff presentations, and travel to local cultural institutions for behind-the-scenes tours.
We encourage undergraduate and graduate students (currently enrolled, or who have graduated within the past year) to apply. International applicants will be considered but must make their own visa, travel, and accommodation arrangements. Selection for Creative Time’s internship program is made on the basis of the applicant’s interest in working for Creative Time, demonstrated ability to contribute to teams, and commitment to a meaningful work experience. Interest and experience in nonprofits, public art, and the arts more broadly are a plus.
We are looking for interns to commit to a minimum of two or three days a week for the academic semester. University credit is preferred for participation in this unpaid internship program. Creative Time is located in the East Village; our office hours are 10AM – 6PM.
