This summer, 60 rising seniors (graduating spring 2023) from Philadelphia public schools will be selected for the 2022 Bloomberg Arts Internship. During this eight-week paid internship, participants will work at Philadelphia’s leading arts organizations, attend rigorous professional development workshops and tour our region’s most important cultural sites. This is an amazing opportunity to develop vital professional skills while exploring Philadelphia’s rich arts and culture community.
Interns work 35 hours per week and are paid $14.47/hour (up to $490/week) for their time--that includes orientations, worksite hours, cultural site visits and professional development sessions.

- SEPTA prepaid Weekly Transpass (or equivalent) for in-person internships or activities
- Free, behind-the-scenes access to cultural institutions
- $14.47/hour (up to $490/week) for all worksite hours, workshops attended, and cultural immersion events
