Saint Louis Art Fair Internships- Event Production
The Internship experience:
· Offers practitioners the chance to provide expertise relative to theory and practice obtained in the classroom setting;
· Offers the opportunity to improve in-service training for permanent employees;
· Allows CF an opportunity to survey and evaluate prospective employees;
· Provides opportunities to establish cooperative relationships which extend beyond the Internship program.
The Art Fair's team approach to special event management mandates that all interns possess a keen sense of self-motivation, the proclivity to work positively with a variety of personality types and leadership styles, the ability to be flexible and to embrace change. Interns should possess and demonstrate a high standard of integrity and professionalism.
