Emerging Artist Resources (EAR) is partnering with Santagado CPA Accounting Services, LLC to present The Art of Tax Planning, a workshop designed to help artists and emerging organizations take control of their finances and build a stronger foundation for long-term sustainability.
Whether you're juggling multiple freelance gigs, managing the finances of a growing organization, or simply unsure where to begin, understanding your finances is an essential step toward building a sustainable artistic career.
Together, we'll explore how to begin organizing your finances, develop practical strategies for tracking income and expenses, and approach tax planning with greater clarity and confidence.
Thinking about hiring a bookkeeper or accountant? This is also a great opportunity to meet the team at Santagado Services, learn more about the support they provide, and better understand when and how professional financial services might benefit your artistic practice or organization.
Our goal is to make financial management feel less intimidating and more accessible, giving you the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions about your financial future.

Emerging Artist Internship
Emerging Artist Resources (EAR) is looking for an intern to join our team!
This internship is a great opportunity for a current college student, recent graduate, or emerging artist interested in dance, arts administration, and the NYC performing arts community. It is especially well suited for a dancer or emerging artist who is currently based in New York—or hopes to move to NYC—and wants to gain a better understanding of the city's artistic landscape while building hands-on experience in arts administration.
Responsibilities
- Researching performances, auditions, classes, workshops, jobs, grants, residencies, and other opportunities for artists in NYC
- Assisting with the creation and maintenance of EAR’s Community Calendar
- Creating and supporting social media content
- Researching artists, organizations, venues, and opportunities throughout the NYC dance community
- Supporting community outreach and engagement
- Assisting with additional administrative and creative projects alongside EAR’s Executive Director
Professional Development & Mentorship
We want this internship to be an opportunity to learn—not just a list of administrative tasks. Throughout the internship, the intern will gain exposure to the day-to-day operations of a growing arts organization and develop a deeper understanding of the NYC dance and performing arts landscape.
The intern will have opportunities to:
- Meet regularly with EAR’s Executive Director for mentorship and professional development
- Learn about arts administration, fiscal sponsorship, fundraising, artist services, marketing, and nonprofit operations
- Become familiar with NYC dance organizations, venues, funding opportunities, and resources available to emerging artists
- Gain insight into building a sustainable artistic career in New York City
- Participate in EAR meetings, events, or community initiatives when relevant
- Take ownership of a semester-long project based on their interests and EAR’s current programming
- Build tangible experience and projects that can be included on a résumé or portfolio
Who We're Looking For
We’re looking for someone who is:
- Currently enrolled in college and able to receive academic credit for the internship
- Responsible, organized, communicative, and able to work independently
- Interested in dance, arts administration, and the NYC arts community
- Excited to learn and take initiative
- Interested in becoming more connected to the resources and opportunities available to emerging artists
Time Commitment
Approximately 8–10 hours per week.
This is a remote position with flexible scheduling, with regular virtual check-ins with EAR’s Executive Director. We understand that artists are balancing classes, rehearsals, performances, and other responsibilities and will work with the intern to create a manageable schedule.
Interns who are interested may have the opportunity to continue with EAR past the time of internship.
Compensation / College Credit
This is currently an unpaid internship, with the opportunity to receive academic credit for eligible students.
Emerging Artist Resources (EAR) is happy to work with students and their colleges or universities to fulfill academic credit requirements. We will coordinate with the intern and their institution to complete any necessary documentation and support the academic credit approval process.
