Fall 2024 - Talent Agency Intern

Art is about connection, and so are we. The merger of ADA Artist Management with UIA Talent Agency in 2023 brought together top experts in music, theatre, literature, film, and television – making us the unique one-stop shop for multi-faceted artists who can’t be limited by traditional industry verticals.

UIA Talent Agency is an entertainment enterprise with a reputation of excellence in representing a diverse roster of artists. Founded in 2011 by current President Vanessa Uzan, UIA is the home to a broad spectrum of talent including classical singers for opera and concert, actors for stage and screen, directors, composers, librettists, playwrights, and conductors. 2014 saw the expansion of UIA’s business with the establishment of its theatre, film and television division, and in 2019, we introduced our literary division.

Founded in 2004, ADA Artist Management established itself as a leader in the music industry by being an artist-led and artist-focused firm, nurturing the careers of the finest performers who excel in a variety of genres and repertoire, from emerging to internationally renowned artists.

We are known for personalized attention for our artists, proactive solutions for presenters, and a commitment to empowering the next generation of BIPOC industry leaders, including our paid fellowship for aspiring arts administrators.
