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
information booth at the Art Fair during the week of Newport BridgeFest. Workload will be light until July 2015,

BridgeFest director and the President of the Arts & Cultural Alliance of Newport County for his/her portfolio and
résumé. Interns will each receive a small stipend to help cover travel expenses during the week of Newport
BridgeFest.
