Internships
Throughout the summer, Music@Menlo offers internships in several areas: Production/Stage Crew, Stage Management, Development, Operations, Event Planning and Hospitality Management, Ticketing and Community Relations, Marketing and Merchandising, Artist Services, and Student Services. Music@Menlo interns have the opportunity to gain valuable experience, learning about what goes on behind the scenes at a major arts festival. Internship dates vary but generally run June through August.
Music@Menlo’s internship program is made possible, in part, by the David B. and Edward C. Goodstein Foundation through grant support and an administrative partnership.
Applications are no longer being accepted for the 2008 festival season. Please check back in the fall for information regarding internships for 2009.
