Artscape administration internship 'a huge success'
02 April 2007 at 04h00
Fifteen young people recently completed their training programme as part of the Artscape internship project, which was launched in June 2007 with the financial support of the department of social development. The main aim of the project was to give young unemployed artists and people interested in the performing and visual arts an opportunity to gain work experience and develop skills in arts administration and management. The project was facilitated and managed by Artscape's Audience Development and Education department under the direction of Marlene le Roux.
Most of the interns have some background in the performing arts and were placed at the various departments at Artscape as well as community-based arts projects such as Gugu S'thebe, Nyanga Arts Development Centre and Novalis-Ubuntu centre.
During their nine-month placement they were involved in a structured learning process that included training, working alongside a mentor, and talks by heads of different operational areas at Artscape. Interns also attended Seta-accredited courses in project and event management and marketing. Le Roux said: "The project was a huge success, with the most important achievement probably being the number of young people who will be gainfully employed." Le Roux says her department is already accepting applications for the next intake although funding has not yet been confirmed.
