鈥淯nlikely Conversations: From Intern to Industry鈥� panelists will discuss unpaid internships in the arts. The conversation will prompt participants to interrogate the ways they and the surrounding industry have approached internship funding in the past, and how this can be improved in the future. Overall, this event aims to establish a space where everyone will be able to gain valuable insight from the conversation, which they can take into their personal careers and professional circles to make an impact on how internships in the arts are structured.
The panel is part of the larger 鈥淯nlikely Conversations Series,鈥� a three-part virtual program produced by 天美麻花星空高清mv-IAH Communications and Administrative Assistant Declan McDermott. The series prioritizes holding space for those difficult and 鈥渦nlikely鈥� conversations鈥� discussions that many people typically avoid. These conversations create opportunities to promote future discussion and affect societal and industry-related change. The first conversation featured a collaboration with Norman Rockwell Museum guest artist and New Yorker cartoonist Liza Donnelly; a recording of this event can be viewed online. The second conversation centered around the themes of good intent and misinformed assumptions around Thanksgiving, a collaboration with WAM Theatre and the Stockbridge-Munsee Community.
