Internship: The Summer Administrative Intern

The Umbrella Arts Center is seeking a driven and highly energetic individual looking to gain educational / administrative experience at a non-profit arts center for the 2025 summer.

ABOUT ORGANIZATION

Summer Arts Under the Umbrella runs three camp programs designed specifically for children ages 5–14. The Umbrella Arts Camp is the main summer art camp program with Full Day and Half Day camper enrollment. Campers enrolled in this program get to experience multiple art mediums by rotating through a variety of artistic disciplines over the course of the camp week. The Arts & REC is our partnership camp program with Concord Recreation. Campers in this program spend the morning at Concord Recreation and the afternoons at The Umbrella Arts Center. The Umbrella Performing Arts Camp is a two-week performing arts specific camp where students develop, write and build their own show, set and costumes. The two-week camp culminates in a final main stage performance. Campers in all three programs are grouped relatively by Grade. The camp day runs from 8:30am – 5:00pm Monday-Friday with Full Day & Half-Day Camper Enrollment. The Umbrella Arts Center is located at 40 Stow Street in downtown Concord, MA. Our mission is to enrich lives and build a vibrant and inclusive community through the arts. We inspire creativity, learning, and personal growth through education, performing and visual arts, cultural events, and community collaborations. Each year we engage, excite, and educate people of all ages – from infants to seniors – in the arts. Our performing arts and events draw thousands to our 344-seat main stage theater and 100-seat black box theater. We present approximately 8 exhibitions per year including curated, juried and non-juried exhibitions and works by local, regional and national artists. And our community of 50+ artists adds tremendous vitality and inspiration. For more information, please visit www.thrumbrellaarts.org.
