The Children's Theatre of Cincinnati

Macy's Internship for Diverse Arts Administrators & Production Artists

Posted:
May 23, 2022
Background

The mission of The Children’s of Cincinnati (TCT) is to educate, entertain and engage audiences of all ages through professional theatrical productions and arts education programming. Now entering its 103rd season, TCT is the oldest professional theatre for young audiences in the country and is recognized as one of the top children’s theatres in the nation. TCT brings art to life through three divisions: TCT MainStage at the Taft Theatre, TCT on Tour/WorkShops, and TCT Academy.

Arts organizations have the power to heal, uplift, and create lasting cultural change. Our goal is that the quality and inclusivity of TCT productions will continue to inspire all youth, with increasing numbers from historically marginalized populations, to love theatre and/or pursue careers both on- and off-stage, particularly through a practice of diverse representation in all areas of our operations. 

The Change Fund at The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati was launched in October 2020 with the goal of creating an inclusive culture and innovation through the addition of previously excluded voices. The Change Fund provides exclusive funding for projects dedicated to eight pillar areas of diversity, equity, inclusion, and access. TCT has currently identified these pillars as:

1. Diverse Arts Administrators  
2. Diverse Educators, Guest Speakers, Ambassadors, & Cultural Consultants
3. Development of diversity-focused new works and adaptations
4. Diverse Playwrights & Composers
5. Diverse Directors & Choreographers 
6. Diverse Designers & Artists 
7. Diverse Production Crew
8. Diversity-Focused Community Engagement Initiatives
 
The Change Fund seeks to offer opportunities for diverse individuals throughout the country including those of various races, ethnicities, religions, genders, abilities, socio-economic status, and more.

In the 2022-23 season, a generous donation from Macy’s will provide exclusive funding for The Change Fund in support of advancing a more equitable future for present and future theatre artists and administrators. In alignment with Macy’s Mission Every One, TCT will provide learning and leadership opportunities for underrepresented youth through the Change Fund Internship for Diverse Arts Administrators or Diverse Production Artists.

Macy’s has previously supported The Change Fund by funding the filming of the TCT on Tour production of ABIYOYO, a diversity-focused new work that was brought to life in the 2021-22 season.

How It Works

The Change Fund at TCT will provide professional and educational opportunities for diverse people interested in pursuing a career in the arts through internships for arts administrators and/or theatre production artists. Internships will amplify the voices of individuals who have been historically underrepresented. The Change Fund will be an educational resource dedicated to projects that specifically and intentionally propel the perspectives of people who are of varying race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender, and more, for many years to come. 

Interested participants may apply for internships related to their professional goals in non-profit arts management and/or theatre production. Applicants may be aspiring non-profit marketing directors, CEOs, producers, development leaders, venue managers, scenic designers, technical directors, lighting designers, and beyond. Interns will lead various programming efforts, share in mentorship by TCT leaders, partake in professional development, engage in networking opportunities with other arts and business leaders in the community, and will be provided with valuable educational opportunities pertaining to their field of choice. Interns will also offer fresh expertise and perspective to TCT’s operations and programming departments.

Interns will work with TCT for a total of two months during the 2022-23 season. Interns will be provided of stipend of $500 per week as well as a housing or travel allowance if from outside of the Greater Cincinnati region.


Eligibility

Applicants must be:
- Undergraduate or Graduate students, or recent Graduates, who identify with a diverse population
- Interested in pursuing a career in Arts Administration and/or Theatre Production
- Available for a minimum of 20 but up to 35 hours per week for a maximum of twelve weeks during the Fall or Spring.

How to Apply

Interested applicants should submit their resume/cover letter via submissions@tctcincinnati.com.  In addition, please submit an essay not to exceed 500 words, or a video not to exceed five minutes, indicating how an internship at TCT is of interest to you and how it will impact you personally, and how you hope to impact TCT in the context of arts administration and/or theatre production.

Applications must be received by June 30, 2022.

In the exhibit, guests will discover, or rediscover, the stories of Rabbis Isaac M. Wise and Eliezer Silver, Albert Sabin and Henry Heimlich, the Krohns, Aronoffs and Rosenthals and the birth of Jewish Hospital, Big Brothers, Big Sisters and more. They’ll learn about the traditions behind yarmulkes, dreidels and menorahs and the Jewish connection to baseball’s favorite phrase “going, going, gone!”

The theme day will take the celebration one step further by bringing in community partners, hands-on activities, and more. This intern will assist with the planning and execution of Our Shared Story Day.
 
1940’s Day (fall of 2022):
1940s Day is a long-standing large living history, fully immersive, annual event put on by Cincinnati Museum Center. Traditionally, there is live music, dancing, musical performances, historical vendors/ displays, lectures, and a vintage car and/or air show. 1940s Day is our single largest crowd generating event of the year. Most guests choose to join in the immersive experience by attending dressed in period clothing. Due to COVID, this will be the first 1940s Day since 2019.

Cincinnati Nature Center Call for Sculpture Artist

Project Description 

The Cincinnati Nature Center’s Earth Expression project is an outdoor and interactive art exhibit consisting of sculptural installation(s) located in our Witt Pollinator Garden and/or Nature PlayScape. The Nature PlayScape is a 1.6-acre enclosed habitat that lets children safely explore forests, fields, and streams with minimal human-made interventions. The Witt Pollinator Garden allows guests to wander through a spiral-shaped garden of native plants that attract birds, bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. The Nature PlayScape and Pollinator Garden reside next to one another on the property; ideally, the project would connect the Pollinator Garden, physically or conceptually, to the Nature PlayScape. 

Our goal is to welcome, surprise, and engage both new and repeat visitors from across the region in a captivating outdoor art experience. The exhibit is a temporary, six-month installation during late summer, fall, and early winter.

Earth Expression will create an art experience that is active, immersive, and social, and stretches the boundaries of the sculptural form. The project will be promoted through various channels, including social media posts, e-blasts, press releases, and our website. Earth Expression is a grant supported project with ArtsWave.

Cincinnati Nature Center staff will design program opportunities around the installation(s) that may encourage guests to create their own art using natural materials, or if appropriate for the artist’s vision, assist in co-creating the artwork.


Selection Process 
One artist will be selected through an RFP process and committee. When choosing an artist, the committee will consider:
- The proposed sculpture(s) is based on a nature theme related to the Cincinnati region 
- The proposed sculpture(s) can withstand wind and rain/snow
- The proposed sculpture(s) are touchable and/or interactive 
- Artist experience creating installations in an outdoor setting
- Artist experience working with the public and ability to share and promote their work
