The Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture is partnering with Bloomberg Philanthropies to launch the Bloomberg Arts Internship (BAI) program in Los Angeles County, as part of the Department's Creative Career Pathways for Youth initiative. LA County BAI connects rising public high school seniors with paid summer internships at arts and cultural organizations, where they will learn valuable skills that prepare them for success in higher education or any career field they may choose to pursue. Since 2012, the program has supported more than 1,900 internships at more than 250 cultural organizations across seven cities.
