About Us

MyArtsCareer.org is an initiative by the Career Development Program team of The Center for Arts Education of New York City. It is a site intended to allow students interested in a career in the arts to learn about the various available jobs in Dance, Literature and Writing, Media, Music, Theater, and Visual Art.

Registering for the site will allow you to take 5 personalized distance learning tools, allowing you to plan your career and perform a Self Assessment to take stock of where you are and where you might like to go, Career Exploration research tool opening up career possibilities, Career Planning to chart your course, advice on Getting a Job/Internship and Surviving on the Job after landing it. The tools will keep track of your responses and allow you to download the results, and you can start and stop each tool at your leisure.

There are also videos of past students in our Career Development Program and their success stories. And finally, there are links to resources and overviews for Educators, Parents, Mentors, and Students.
