chashama, a 12-year-old not-for-profit arts organization, is looking for
interns to assist in our East Midtown offices. chashama adopts temporarily
vacant properties and converts them into theaters, galleries, visual
artist studios, and storefront window performance stages. chashama has
transformed more than twenty vacant properties into space for artists and
has given more than 4,500 artists access to free and subsidized space.
Interns are fully integrated into the operations of the organization, often
supervising projects of their own and working directly with our resident
artists.
