The Uptown Association Internship Program provides an excellent opportunity for individuals to receive hands-on experience at one of the most active business associations in the City of Minneapolis, as well as the producer of the nationally acclaimed Uptown Art Fair. The Association is looking for several interns interested in enhancing their education experience in the areas of communications, public relations, marketing, event planning, project management, journalism and web/graphic design.

Association Interns play integral roles in coordinating the Uptown Art Fair- one of the top 10 fine art festival in the US and second most attended event in MN.
