Arts Program
We are excited to collaborate with Bloomberg Philanthropies to bring the Bloomberg Arts Internship (BAI) program to San Francisco.
Why it matters
The arts are a vital part of San Francisco’s identity and economy, yet career pathways in the creative sector are often inaccessible without early exposure and support.
Equity & Pathway
Through the Bloomberg Arts Internship, youth gain paid, hands-on experience working on real creative projects, building professional skills, confidence, and opening doors to higher education in the arts, careers in the arts, and the creative economy
