Artists visas are difficult to get unless you are reasonably well known, or hired by a major company (broadway theatre etc).

If the internship works out well, the company you worked for might sponsor you for a H1B working visa once your degree is done (usually you need a Masters though). If during the J1, you get a US girlfriend, you could marry and stay over there.
