Interns will also have the opportunity to attend private tours and panel discussions as well as write original content for the blog.

Duties include:

  • Managing invoices, accounts receivable and payable
  • Keeping track of all receipts and petty cash
  • Prospect research and development support
  • Event planning (particularly for our upcoming benefit)
  • Sound of Art inventory management
