Dairy Arts Center

Student Producers

The Dairy Student Producers program provides a year-long, no-cost student internship program for Boulder Valley School District high school students. Over the course of a year, students will be given the opportunity to produce their own live performance, exhibition and/or film festival with hands-on guidance from the Dairy’s professional arts administration staff. Through this special program, the Dairy seeks to involve students from groups that are historically under-represented in visual and performing arts production 

in Boulder County, including Black or African-American, American Indian, Alaska Native, Hispanic or Latinx.

Participants will acquire a deep understanding of various components of artistic administration through weekly meetings as they are encouraged to make their own decisions with regard to artistic planning, budget management, contract negotiations, marketing, promotion, and production logistics.
