Program: ArtBound Initiative - Creative Internships in New York

When I first joined the Artbound Initiative Program, I thought it was too good to be true. Frankly, I thought it was a scam designed to take advantage of young creative professionals who've been discouraged by a job market and political climate that's gradually erasing the value of their passions. I couldn't have been more wrong. The program had everything a young creative needs to get a jumpstart on their career---career guidance, resume & portfolio assistance, frequent communication with advisors and mentors, and most importantly, connections with other interns. They even went the extra mile of helping me find housing and learning the area when I eventually moved to New York for my internship, and the experience I gained there help me take advantage of other opportunities that have come my way. So many doors have opened and I'm glad to have been part of this experience. I hope others can be helped by the Initiative, so long as it remains affordable for them.
