Ars Nova’s Artistic Internship is an integral part of the artistic team. Working closely with the Artistic Coordinator and having daily interaction with the Artistic Director and Associate Artistic Director, this intern’s primary responsibility will be to assist the artistic staff with the daily administration and programming of the theater. The Artistic Intern will have a heavy amount of daily interaction with Ars Nova’s vibrant artist community as well as with all admin departments, making this an ideal opportunity for a young professional interested in learning about the day-to-day of a non-profit theater company.

Responsibilities may include logging, tracking and evaluating submissions; assisting with Ars Nova’s All New Talent Festival, Out Loud play readings, developmental workshops, as well as Play Group and Uncharted meetings; scouting theater, comedy and music in New York City on behalf of the company and making recommendations; and general administrative support for the artistic staff. This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience in artistic development and producing.

The ideal candidate will be a motivated, self-starter with exceptional organizational and communication skills; strong writing skills; excellent attention to detail; the ability to prioritize and handle multiple tasks simultaneously; proficiency in Word and Excel. Database experience a plus. Some evening availability is necessary. The internship is unpaid, but there is a weekly stipend available.
