ABG Internship
Closing March 1st OPEN
Creative Entrepreneurship & Arts Operations Internship
The ABG Creative Entrepreneurship & Arts Operations Internship is a six-month, hands-on program designed for emerging creatives interested in understanding how art, business, and community intersect. 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.
Deadline to Apply: March 1st
