2010 Interns: "I've been introduced to an astounding network of accomplished professionals, alums, mentors, and supporters of the arts and business. Everyone involved cared and continues to care about my success. I feel like I have New York's elite artist managers and top business professionals as my personal cheerleaders! The program is truly a 360-degree approach to molding a group of driven, successful, and open interns. That makes for a truly transformative experience." “The most amazing internship program ever! This program allows you to gain real life experience, learn from professionals in New York City that have a passion for the arts, gain amazing friendships and receive support from a team that cares about you." “The whole package of having a mentor, of being part of a bigger group of interns, and still have my own individual experience at my job —the program design cannot be better. Every aspect of this program was more than I could ask for. I had a mentor who cared about my career and personal developments; a job where the staff respected and valued my opinion; and friends who shared the same concerns and passion in the arts. Most importantly, I made new friendships that would last a lifetime. (Cheesy, I know, but no joke.)” “My experience this summer has been extremely eye opening. Every component of this program has brought with it invaluable lessons, challenges and relationships. This program provides an entire pool of resources that effectively shapes you into becoming a future asset. Providing unmatched sources of support, and expertise, at the end it’s surprising to feel how much you've grown in just ten weeks!“ “I don't think I've ever learned so much in ten weeks. I am in love with this program....[it] has shown me not just paths to careers in the field, but also to the life I want.” Read more quotes from the 2010 interns.
2010 Arts Hosts: “Simply put, this is the best organized intern program I have ever been involved with in my 22 years as an arts administrator. The interns receive an enormous learning experience in the heart of the nation's art capital, and the institutions receive high quality work produced by young, enthusiastic and highly creative individuals.” “ABC/NY did an exceptional job of providing us with what we consider the perfect intern: committed, eager to learn, engaged -- and engaging. We were able to bring our intern into important discussions and to benefit from his intelligence, eagerness, and enthusiasm from the very start. He became not only an important support to our work, but a true collaborator and partner.” “SInce the interns are prescreened and selected through ABC/NY's process it really takes the work out of it for the host organization. In my case it allowed me to focus on the tasks to assign to the intern when they arrived.” “We have had a wonderful experience with ABC/NY's Multicultural Arts Management Internship Program. They matched us with a terrific intern, whose interests were aligned with our work and whose skills allowed us to carry out important projects for the organization. The fact that the program is full-time is great as it provides the intern an opportunity to enter an organization as a member of staff, and likewise enables the organization to count on the intern for important work.” Read more quotes from the 2010 arts host organizations.
2010 Mentors: “My first experience in this program was very positive. [My mentee] was, admittedly, low-maintenance—he is very independent, thoughtful and self-directed. He communicated how I could best support him during his internship and was equally open to advice and new opportunities. I especially enjoyed that I could introduce him to a new art context of corporate art, and that my staff could be involved and increase his career awareness and NYC network.” “I've had many memorable experiences over the course of the program and through the years. It is amazing that ABC/NY continues to nurture this program and I am proud to be a participant. I learn new things every summer from the interns, other mentors and hosts, the facilitators and get to visit fantastic organizations in NYC. What's not to love!?!” "This was a fantastic and empowering experience for me this summer; [my mentee] was a perfect match for me, we share common interests and field of study and I think we had a really great personality connection as well. She's also the embodiment of what ABC/NY wants in their express wishes to see the internship program be a success. This was my fifth year as a mentor and it was my best." |
