The goal for this session is to review our application for the Los Angeles County. Bloomberg Arts Internship (BAI) program. This is a national program that offers paid summer internships to rising public high school seniors at arts and cultural organizations. LA County BAI provides an 8-week paid summer internship, along with professional development, college preparation support, dedicated mentorship, and educational and cultural excursions.

Our organization is working to submit application detailing our proposed internship projects, work plan, and an organizational budget. In this session we will review these materials collaboratively, and the volunteer will offer suggestions for strengthening our proposal.

Organization Mission

Water & Power provides performance and exhibition space for emerging artists working in electronic music, performance art, and installation. As an artist-led queer collective, we work to create accessible performance opportunities for our BIPOC LGBTQIA+ community of artists who have aged out of traditional institutional resources or never had access to them to begin with. Our programming focuses on peer-led learning from working artists, grassroots artist education, and hands-on workshops.
