ARTSwego internship
This is my most recent internship, and it's something I’m incredibly proud of. Being part of the ARTSwego team has been invaluable in shaping my career path toward working in arts promotions. I’ve gained hands-on experience in social media management, event promotion, and creative content development skills that are directly aligned with my career goals. It’s been an amazing opportunity to learn from professionals in the field and contribute to promoting the arts in such a meaningful way.
What I learned
During this internship, I was responsible for managing all social media accounts and creating engaging content. I learned to navigate new platforms like Bluesky and SocialPilot, using data and analytics to improve engagement rates. Building on my previous internship experience, I explored how trends and humor could be used to drive interaction and make content more approachable.
Most importantly, I learned how to make content more accessible—not just in terms of tone and relatability, but also for people who may have difficulty seeing or hearing. I made an effort to include things like image descriptions, captions, and clear visual design to ensure everyone could engage with the content. I also focused on optimizing posts for algorithms by using strategic hashtags, consistent posting times, and platform-specific tools to increase visibility and reach a broader audience.
