We are delighted to announce that Rare has been appointed as sole recruiter for the Arts & Business Intern Programme. Arts & Business have ambitious plans for the next three years and are launching their Internship Programme to offer talented people from ethnic minority backgrounds the chance to learn more about the worlds in which they operate.  A&B has been connecting the worlds of commerce and culture for over 30 years, through advocacy, research, advice and guidance, training and mentoring.  They help business people support the arts and help the arts to inspire business people, because good business and great art together create a richer society.

Arts & Business are offering 8 internships per year, 4 Arts and 4 Business. These are exceptional opportunities for anyone who wishes to gain an insight into the relationship between these two worlds and who has an interest in sponsorship, marketing, business strategy, arts fundraising and development.  Arts & Business has always been a breeding ground for talent, with a number of former employees occupying senior positions across the arts, government and not for profit sector.

Natalie Melton, Commercial Director of Arts & Business commented: “Working with Rare on our internship programme was a no-brainer.  Firstly, I know that we will get candidates of exceptional quality.  Secondly, I care passionately about diversity in the arts and am committed to doing what I can to ensure that we reflect that in our work and our workforce.  I very much hope that this initiative will set an example that others within the cultural industries will follow.”
