Here’s a question? Where to place a student with amazing drawing skills who wants an internship where he can sketch? Our staff put all our collective heads together and the weirdest internship idea in years popped up: tattoo parlor. We crossed-out the biker havens and landed a straight-laced gallery full of artists who treat their workshop like an art museum. Our Down Under student was thrilled and his tattoo designs are still on display.

A more pedestrian option we uncovered was an inner-city art studio where painters and sketch artists ply their crafts. Our student completed both internships: one with the art studio, and the second with the tattoo parlor.

For the artistic of ear, Down Under has contacts with a sound studio. Top talent uses this studio to finish albums, create soundtracks for movies and videogames, and to jam with other musicians. You will assist individual artists setting up the equipment, mixing, and monitoring the recording sessions. If you play an instrument or DJ, etc., you will have your own recording space to create your masterpiece.

In addition to the wild and the weird, more traditional options include a dance studio where 8-80’s practice the latest (and oldest) dance moves. Down Under students work with the younger of the two and assist on form, balance, and execution. In addition to on-the-floor help, they help staff setting up the dancehall, marketing, and public relations.
