The Partnership for Innovation (PIN) has opened applications for its highly competitive, paid PIN Summer Internship, a 12-week, full-time program that pairs innovative students with forward-thinking public, private, and civic organizations across Georgia and the South. The Public Art Futures Lab is grateful to be selected again for two PIN Summer Interns.

Last year’s PIN interns, Thaís Alvarenga, from Georgia Tech, and Akshara Singh, from the University of Georgia, made a tremendous impact through the Open Source Curriculum Project they developed with the Futures Lab. These materials are now used regularly in the Fulton County Library System workshops and will be implemented soon across Senior Services.

That experience demonstrated how powerful this partnership can be, allowing our team to advance work we could not accomplish on our own! Being chosen for a second year affirms the value of that collaboration, and we are honored to continue building innovative, public-facing projects with PIN that expand access, creativity, and civic engagement across the county.

This year's PIN Interns will be hosted by Fulton County Arts & Culture’s Public Art Futures Lab for an artist-residency/data-research project developed in partnership with the County’s DREAM Sustainability Division. Learn more and apply by February 1.
