COFA Arts Administration Fellowship Program
Fellowship Program
The Office of Community Engagement and Public Practice in partnership with the Center for Creative Economies is pleased to offer the COFA Arts Administration Fellowship. This two-year program offers students fully funded internships with university and Austin-based arts organizations. As part of their fellowship, students will be matched for their first internship of the fellowship with a university-based partner. Their second internship will take place with an Austin-based arts organization. Both internships occur during the summer. Applicants will be able to indicate their preference of partner and internship focus but placement is dependent on availability.
