As America's foremost concert hall and as an internationally significant cultural forum for music, Carnegie Hall also plays a third role as a training ground for arts administrators. In light of this, Carnegie Hall offers internships in various departments during each semester of the year-spring, summer, and fall. They receive valuable career training in the areas of public relations, development, marketing, and special events. Internships range in length from three to six months. Interns are paid an hourly wage, and are expected to work 20 to 40 hours per week.
Interns are responsible for locating their own housing.
The intern works closely with the staff as an integral part of media planning, list management, copy writing, and ticket promotions. Advertising planning and placement are also a primary responsibility, including the coordination of placements with all media, reserving space, determining specs, and writing copy. They work closely with the staff on all aspects of preparations for galas, from soliciting funds and managing donor lists to the writing and designing of marketing materials. Fund Raising Carnegie Hall seeks Corporate Fund Assistant. Responsibilities include generating acknowledgement letters, managing donor records and benefits, proposal writing, coordinating direct mail campaigns and general administrative assistance.
