Interns work across both ABG Art Group, a creative agency and production company, and the ABG Foundation, a nonprofit organization supporting mission-driven creatives. The internship is intentionally cross-functional, offering exposure to creative production, nonprofit operations, community partnerships, administration, and creative business development. Rather than being siloed into a single role, interns gain experience across multiple operational areas and leadership styles—mirroring the realities of creative entrepreneurship and preparing interns to build sustainable creative careers.
