Internships with WPAS

WPAS offers internships throughout the year. Applicants should be highly motivated, creative and hard-working individuals with an interest in all aspects of arts management. It is required that applicants have previous office experience. In addition, applicants should possess:

• Interest/background in music, dance or performance art
• Strong organizational skills
• Effective writing and communication skills
• Ability to learn quickly, handle multiple tasks, take initiative, and work independently with little supervision
• High energy level and ability to work well in deadline and/or pressure situations
• Computer literacy

WPAS interns leave our offices with a better understanding of arts management, knowledge of artists in a variety of fields (classical music, world music, dance and performance art), contacts in theaters throughout the D.C. metro area, practical experience and a portfolio of work. The internship is unpaid, however stipends are occasionally granted during the performance year (September - May). Interns are also invited to attend many WPAS performances on a complimentary basis.
