Future Tenant: A "Working Lab" Opportunity
Future Tenant is a "rough" space, located in the heart of the Cultural District, that features alternative exhibitions and performances by the region's emerging artists. Future Tenant offers MAM students the opportunity to gain invaluable, practical management experience in a culturally active setting. A team of approximately six first- and second-year MAM students handle all aspects of Future Tenant's planning, programming, managing, budgeting, marketing and fundraising, under the guidance and support of a faculty advisor. Edgy, uncharted and vibrant in both the art it presents and the management challenges it faces, Future Tenant is an experience unlike any other offered anywhere else. For more information: www.futuretenant.org. | Internships
A full-time internship, completed during the summer between your first and second years, will give you the opportunity to apply the management skills you've learned and to gain further professional experience. You will be encouraged to intern in an organization that corresponds to your area of interest and your career goals. Your internship work can include a myriad of responsibilities: assisting with a marketing plan, creating a donor database, organizing aspects of a summer festival, or helping install a new exhibition. Throughout the summer, you will be putting into practice those skills you acquired in your first year, and you will be developing a strong context for your second-year concentration coursework. Check out some of the places where MAM students have interned in the past.
Apprenticeships
Your are encouraged to undertake a half-time apprenticeship to supplement your classroom work and further enrich your work experience. You can choose to apprentice in one of more than thirty professional cultural organizations in the region. Apprentices come with financial support from either the host institution or the MAM Program. Here are some of organizations where MAM students have apprenticed recently. | |
