This brand new Newport BridgeFest internship is designed to provide students and recent graduates with an
opportunity to learn about careers in the arts, event planning, media relations, artist relations, and supporting
areas of Newport BridgeFest. The experience will grant candidates a first hand behind-the-scenes look into event
planning/promotion, networking in the arts and music scene. Primary responsibilities will be to attend meetings
with Newport BridgeFest Director, assist in festival planning, run errands as needed, and help staff the BridgeFest
