RealArts@Penn

Dear students:

I am very pleased to announce a new project of the College of Arts &
Sciences, intended to support creative Penn undergraduates doing art in
the realm of practice. It's called "RealArts@PENN" and in its first year
RealArts is sponsoring six paid summer internships - at MTV Networks,
Rolling Stone magazine, Brooklyn Films, Shore Fire Media, Grand Central
Publishing (former Warner Books), and Women Make Movies. Yes, RealArts
will pay you a stipend to work in such venues. (And we're happy to say
that RealArts internships and programs are open to students in all four
undergraduate schools.)

Why are we doing this? What other projects will we sponsor? How do you
apply? Go here
