As one of the largest, busiest performing arts centers in the world, the Kennedy Center and its leadership have developed extensive expertise in performing arts management. Founded in 2001 by Kennedy Center President Michael M. Kaiser, the DeVos Institute leverages this expertise to train, support, and empower arts managers and their boards locally, nationally, and internationally. As part of this mission, the Institute offers competitive Internships for aspiring arts managers to gain critical hands-on experience in many areas of performing arts management.
DeVos Institute Interns develop valuable relationships in the industry by training with Kennedy Center Staff within departments aligned with their interests. Interns also gain a broad understanding of the performing arts industry by participating in weekly seminars and activities, attending Kennedy Center performances and events, and connecting with a vast network of DeVos Institute alumni. Alumni have gone on to organizations such as The Atlanta Symphony, The National Endowment for the Humanities, The New York Philharmonic, The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, the offices of Renée Fleming, and The Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts.
Internships are full-time (40 hours per week), or part-time (20-30 hours per week), unpaid opportunities that complement a students current or recent program of study. Interns receive complimentary tickets to Kennedy Center performances during the Internship (subject to availability), and/or academic credit for their college or university upon request. (Please note, the Kennedy Center is not an accredited institution; therefore college credit must be granted by the Intern's current college or university.)
Alumni have gone on to organizations such as Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, National Endowment for the Humanities, The New York Philharmonic, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, the offices of Renée Fleming, Carnegie Hall, and Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts.
Applicants must be currently enrolled juniors or seniors in undergraduate programs, master's candidates, or have completed a degree within the past two years.
