Why Sundance Institute
Sundance Institute is dedicated to the discovery and development of independent artists and audiences.
At our core, we believe that individuals can spark new ideas that entertain, push creative boundaries, and ignite empathy and understanding that can ultimately lead to social change. We not only look for these attributes in the artists we support, but the extraordinary talent that we hire to bring our mission to life. With that, we encourage individuals from diverse and historically underrepresented communities, as well as those with unique and transferable skill-sets from various industries, to apply to join the Sundance community.
We’re building a talent community full of inspired individuals who want to be a part of the action through our Year-Round Institute roles, Seasonal Program positions, internship experiences, and volunteer opportunities.
If you’re looking for a place where creativity, passion, and collaboration come together in support of a unifying purpose, Sundance Institute is where you belong. If you have the qualifications and feel that Sundance is a place that you would enjoy and excel in, then apply to any of our current openings.
