Side by Side Internships
Art Spark Texas offers opportunities within a technology and arts-based environment to support young adults with disabilities. Side by Side Internships are designed for young adults transitioning from school to adult life. These intensive internships are one to three weeks long and give the interns skill building knowledge as well as hands-on work in creative industries such as film, photography, radio, and music. Interns have the opportunity to work in small teams with local professionals in their field of interest.
