About

Help launch new creative careers today!

Arts Professional Pathways (APP) connects UC Santa Cruz students directly with creative and industry professionals to demystify and promote careers in the arts. Through advising, mentorship, networking, and internships with major arts and entertainment institutions, we help students learn the tools and gain the confidence to turn their creativity into a career.

Find Your Path! is our annual signature event that brings these opportunities together by preparing students for life beyond the university and helping them forge meaningful industry connections.

We also offer matching scholarship funds to ensure that internships are accessible to all students, regardless of financial background.

Your support helps break down barriers that keep students from entering the creative economy and diversifies the next generation of artists and creative professionals.

Join us this Giving Day and help UC Santa Cruz Arts Division students find their path to a creative future.
