Kennedy Center International Summer Fellowship Program 2009

Applications are now being accepted for the 2009 Kennedy Center International Summer Fellowship Program.

This fellowship program is designed to provide up to 20 international arts managers with an intensive three-year, four week program on arts management beginning in July 2009. The selected managers will come to Washington, DC to study arts management at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Through daily classes with Michael Kaiser and Kennedy Center senior staff, seminars, practica, and projects, the fellows will gain practical experience and skills that will be readily transferable to the management of their own organizations. Fellows will be expected to come to the Fellowship with at least one arts management related project that will benefit their home organization to work on while at the Kennedy Center.

Arts managers with a minimum of four years of experience will be selected for this program. Fellows must be fluent in English. Fellows receive roundtrip air transportation, hotel, per diem, and program materials.

The deadline for applications is December 1. Information on the program and an on-line application form can be found at http://www.kennedy-center.org/education/artsmanagement/international.cfm
