Studio Repose High School Internship Program

What is Studio Repose?

Studio Repose is a paid internship opportunity where students engage in a collective of creative high schoolers while working in an imaginative and inspiring arts atmosphere. They also learn from mentors in various fields while developing their personal and professional development skills.

Why Studio Repose is Important

WBCA started the Studio Repose program with the goal of providing a space for creative youth to explore potential career opportunities, thinking of the internship as a holistic approach to workforce development through the lens of an art center.

Studio Repose provides a supportive environment where students gain valuable insights and context as they support youth programs like the WriteNow! and High School Visual Arts Contests, as well as develop essential workforce skills while immersing themselves in an inspiring arts atmosphere.
