Content

A Creative Arts Internship is a placement in a supervised workplace. Internships may be undertaken across a range of creative arts industries. These disciplines include creative and professional writing, graphic arts, media arts, performing arts, and visual arts. Possible placements for an internship include: activities associated with creative arts industry sectors, corporate/government/community organizations, associations and practitioners involved in the fields of writing/publishing/editing, graphic design, dance/performance/theatre production, film, video, television, radio, sound, animation, web design, photography, visual arts, and communications/media. Students are responsible for researching and selecting a work placement, and then devising and negotiating a mutually agreed upon supervised project and/or a supervised position within a workplace environment.

 

During the Internship students will be required to:
