 The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts offers valuable skills building for arts managers through the Institute for Arts Management. The Fellowship Program provides up to 10 highly motivated, disciplined, and creative artists and arts managers the instruction and experience they need to succeed in today's complex arts environment.
Fellows enjoy close working relationships with experienced arts professionals, hands-on work opportunities, a structured blend of independent and collective learning experiences, and the opportunity to work in one of the busiest and most artistically diverse performing arts centers in the United States. Fellows are expected to attend performances and educational events, as well as complete significant projects within the context of the Kennedy Center. Fellowships are full-time and last 10 months starting in September and ending in June. The Institute emphasizes excellence, creativity, economic problem solving, strategic planning, internationalism, and a commitment to new technologies. Additional details and application information |

for endless career development opportunities. During the internship, participants maintain a working portfolio and attend performances, workshops, and classes presented by the Center.
