AWESOME PROGRAM!

Program: ArtBound Initiative - Creative Internships in Berlin

10

I had the best time in Berlin working for a contemporary art gallery for 2 months. The ArtBound team is so cool and dynamic, had always the coolest recommendations for places to go and events, they made me feel like I was a real Berliner and not a tourist. The gallery I worked at was super welcoming and took the time to teach me the job of gallery assistant. I stayed in a private room in a shared apartment with a cool Berliner, which also helped me a lot to make friends there. Now I want to move to Berlin so bad!

Built a great network through ArtBound!

Program: ArtBound Initiative - Creative Internships in Berlin

ArtBound found me an 3 month internship with a gallery in Berlin last summer. My supervisors were awesome and we stayed in touch and I met really cool artists. ArtBound's advisors took the time to get to know my personality better before suggesting this internship and it was right on! I asked to stay in my own place so they found me a studio in Kreuzberg. They organized studio visits of cool artists and a gallery tour during my stay. Miss Berlin!

THE internship program if you're in the arts!

Program: ArtBound Initiative - Creative Internships in New York

10

ArtBound got me a great internship in a theater producing office in NYC in the fall. Having an internship for a Broadway producer was a dream come true for me! My ArtBound's advisor, who used to be a theater producer, gave me advices before I started and also during my time at the office when I had any issues or questions. I highly recommend this program for anyone who's interested in having a work experience in Theater or in the performing arts in NYC. Also, just being in New York for three months was THE best!

Enjoying NYC

I was always very drawn to American media production. I grew up watching American TV shows and movies, and I was fascinated by how they were created. As a child, I often researched behind-the-scenes processes, which exposed me to American culture and values. Over time, I developed a deep appreciation for their creativity, diversity, and innovation. I love the culture, I admire the people, and I wanted to experience life in a completely different environment. Going abroad was my way of stepping out of my comfort zone, facing new challenges, and growing as a person. I wanted to meet people from different backgrounds, improve my communication skills, and gain experiences that would shape me both personally and professionally.
