PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE IN THE ARTS

The Apollo Apprenticeship program provides college students and recent graduates with professional experience in the arts and entertainment industry. This paid, 18-month program grants Apprentices on-the-job training and mentorship as they work with Apollo staff to design, implement, and produce their own projects and events.

Through hands-on experiences in project creation and management, technical production and direction, and event management, Apprentices gain the skills needed to curate live and digital presentations.

Applications are now open for the 2026–2028 cohort.
