Art@Work, Marwen’s Paid Summer Creative Internship for Teens, Kicks Off for 2025

Let’s get to work! Yesterday, all of our interns and hosting sites came together for Art@Work’s orientation and kickoff event. For those who don’t know, Art@Work is a PAID summer creative internship opportunity exclusively offered to Marwen’s 16-18 year old artists. 18 teens are placed with different work sites across the city to grow their experience in artistic and creative fields like marketing, event planning, museum operations, creative retail, architecture, social media, and more.
