Opportunities for Students
UCLA summer art institute for HS students
===================================================================
Ryman Arts provides an opportunity
for advanced high school students to develop their drawing and painting skills in an
intensive studio environment with other talented students from all over
Southern California, completely free of charge.
Since 1990, Ryman Arts has provided traditional, college-level drawing
and painting courses to especially motivated High School students. Every
student accepted into the program receives a full scholarship including
art supplies, tuition, field trips, guest artist visits, and college and
career preparation. Classes take place on Saturdays on the USC campus.
June 5th is the deadline to apply for our Fall 2009 semester. If you
know a young artist who would benefit from additional studio art study,
encourage him or her to apply. To be eligible, the student must be in
High School this fall, so seniors who are graduating this spring are not
eligible. The application requires two drawings done from observation, a
recommendation, and an application form.
To get an application form via email, fax or mail, contact Rebecca
Tuynman at (213) 629-2787 or

125 Paid Summer Internships in the Arts Available through the Los Angeles County Arts Internship Program
Los Angeles County, through its Arts Commission, has given grants
totaling $500,000 to 95 performing, literary, media and municipal arts
organizations throughout Los Angeles County to support paid internships
for college undergraduates in summer 2009.
Descriptions of and contacts for the 125 internship positions are posted on the Arts Commission's web site. Go to
www.lacountyarts.org<
http://www.lacountyarts.org/>, click on Internships, then 2009 Internship Positions.
Eligibility requirements for the internships have been expanded in
2009. Graduating seniors who complete their undergraduate degrees by
September 1, 2009 are eligible, as well as undergraduates. Applicants
must have completed at least one semester of college by June 2009 and
be currently enrolled (full-time) in a community college or a four-year
university. Applicants must be a resident in and/or attending school in
Los Angeles County.
Interns are paid $350 per week, for 40 hours a week, for 10 weeks and
take part in educational and arts networking activities. Through the
program, interns gain a deeper understanding of the work involved in
nonprofit arts administration and the role of the arts in a community,
and develop business skills that can be put to use in their future
careers. Internship host organizations help mold and shape potential
new workers in the arts field who may go on to arts leadership
positions on staffs, boards or as volunteers.
Interested undergraduates should apply directly to the organization
offering the internship, not the Arts Commission. General information
on the internship program is also available at
