Arts Managers Invited to Apply for 2011-12 Kennedy Center Fellowship Program

The Kennedy Center Fellowship Program annually provides comprehensive study to up to ten arts managers at the Washington, D.C.-based John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts with coursework in strategic planning, marketing, and development; three practical work rotations in center departments; and a series of professional development seminars.

The program emphasizes excellence, creativity, economic problem solving, strategic planning, internationalism, and a commitment to new technologies. Fellows are provided with hands-on work opportunities, a structured blend of independent and collective learning experiences, and the opportunity to work closely with experienced arts professionals in one of the busiest and most artistically diverse performing arts centers in the United States. Fellows are expected to attend performances and educational events, as well as complete significant projects within the context of the Kennedy Center.

The paid fellowships are full-time and last nine months, from September through May. Fellows receive an annual stipend of $20,000 to help defray their housing and transportation costs. Course materials and reimbursement for health insurance are also provided.

The Kennedy Center welcomes applicants with disabilities. Applications must be written in English or have a certified translation.

Visit the Kennedy Center Web site for complete program guidelines, application procedures, and information on previous program participants.
