Brooklyn Interns for Arts and Culture

Brooklyn Interns for Arts & Culture (BIAC) is a paid, one-year college, career, and life-readiness after-school internship program that welcomes a cohort of 13 New York City high school students each year.

During the program, BIAC Interns learn what it takes to have a career in arts management, get post-high school planning support, and learn critical wellness practices to help them manage life's transitions while building community.

BIAC empowers all participants to be their most authentic selves while contributing to their community and sharpening their vision, voice, and power!
