ArtsPayNJ Educational Offerings Archives

ArtsPay NJ Data shows that about 50% of arts organizations still offer unpaid internships. Only 17% offer paid internship opportunities. This session will offer case studies and learnings from people who have created and supervised paid internship, fellowship, and/or apprenticeship programs in the nonprofit sector. The conversation will focus on how they budget for the programs, create opportunities for feedback, build partnerships, and prioritize the professional learning experience of the participants.

Panelists include Andrew Walker and Carolyn Parelli (Eleven Plus), Tess James (Princeton University), Gina E. Beviglia (F.M. Kirby Foundation) and Daria M. Sullivan (New Jersey Theatre Alliance).

ArtsPay NJ data shows that many employers want to address pay equity at their companies, but don’t know where to start. This session will feature several arts organizations of varying budget sizes that have recently implemented salary banding and/or benchmarking as a way to address this issue. This discussion will feature Adam Perle (ArtPride NJ), Lori Rovera (Young Audiences of New Jersey and Pennsylvania) Gary Garrido Schneider (Grounds For Sculpture), and Mike Stotts (Paper Mill Playhouse) as they share their experience working toward pay equity.
