Description: Emerging Artist Internship in Business Success:
Professional Achievement in a Creative Field

A synthesis of the exhilarating and the necessary

Join Tribbio Studio, a local organization devoted to launching the careers of emerging artists. This program will help you develop the professional and business skills necessary to succeed on your own merit, while also building your qualifications as a good candidate for jobs in a creative field. This program’s whole-brained approach will teach you it’s like to be an artist in a real-world setting, helping you develop practical skills for direct use and application in your chosen career path.

Internships are available Winter 2010, with expanded programs available the following Spring and Summer. Every week this program will have a specific focus: your skills, knowledge and efforts will integrate and build, ensuring each project expands on those previous culminating in a coherent whole. Select high performing interns will be offered a paid Senior Internship the following semester and will also be considered for future part- and full-time employment.

Your time will be divided between four core areas:

•Guided research
•Group administrative projects
•Regular work as a studio assistant
•Building an achievable personal vision

You will be part of a startup team of a model creative organization, learning and actually using your knowledge in a relevant setting. While the primary goal is everyone’s personal and professional growth, you will also have the opportunity to submit grants and launch a new organization under senior mentorship, securing yourself a leadership position and a solid, experience-based foothold in the job market.
