CONTENTS
Fellowships are intended to provide practical training and play a role in nurturing leadership by expanding and fostering inclusiveness within the discipline of arts and culture consulting. This first-in-the-field program was created to help support and escalate the involvement of individuals from groups that have been underrepresented in the arts and culture consulting field. AMS strongly considers qualified BIPOC candidates for fellowship opportunities.
The program is remote with options for in-person engagement. Participants will be mentored by recognized sector leaders and engage in valuable training and dialogue with a professional staff that collectively has decades of expertise in arts and culture. Participation in the Fellowship has proven to be a competitive advantage for fellows seeking employment in the arts and culture sector. Fellows have been hired for full-time positions with AMS.
Tasks will include assisting with project planning and research for small organizations and major institutions; supporting quantitative analysis; assisting with research and writing; and conducting industry and consumer research. Fellows will have an opportunity to survey each of the business areas in which AMS is engaged.
This is a hands-on fellowship and participants will be a part of AMS’s culture, attending staff meetings and project meetings. Fellows work alongside AMS staff, analysts, consultants, project managers, directors, and the firm’s principal. Ability to use an AMS-issued laptop with customary office software (MS Office Suite, Adobe Acrobat), and access to 25Mbps (or faster) internet connection will be required.
Fellows should demonstrate an interest in the arts and culture sector, together with strong writing, analytical, and communication skills. Research experience, financial analysis, project management capabilities, statistical analysis and financial modeling experience are a plus.
