Project Description

During the 2019-20 academic year, professional teaching artists will lead students in completing challenging projects, informed by experiences at partnering cultural landmarks (2018: MOCA and The Getty Research Institute).

4. Level 4 Career Prep Internships and Support: artworxLA staff provides guidance through the transition to college or the workforce through mentorship and opportunities such as, paid internships and job-shadowing at creative companies.
