- Opportunity: Internships for artists and scholars
Elsewhere, a 501(c)3 non-profit collaborative art production space and experimental museum in downtown Greensboro, NC, is seeking interns for its Spring, Summer, and Fall 2008 seasons. Set within a three-story former thrift store housing an immense 58-year collection of American cultural objects, Elsewhere explores the collaborative interplay between creative producers, practices, and productions. Elsewhere's residency program hosts emerging and established international artists-in-residence who create site-specific works utilizing Elsewhere's resources. All works remain on-site and become part of the fluctuating museum environment. Elsewhere's evolving three-story installation includes a performance venue, a massive library of books and periodicals, a fabric workshop, and on-site boarding facilities.
- Information: Interns apply their creative talents and skills to assist Elsewhere artist-staff and artists-in-residence with the operations and expansion of the museum and on-site creation of new works. Interns have the unique opportunity to cultivate their organizational and creative capacities while learning new skills from a diverse group of professional artists. At any given time, Elsewhere's internship program hosts two artist-assistants, a documentary intern, and an assistant director as part of the internship program. Students with backgrounds in the humanities and arts-related disciplines are encouraged to apply.
- Requirements: Interns must be extremely self-motivated, detailed, articulate, thoughtful, creative, have a sense of humor, enjoy working within a community, be capable of fusing intellectual and artistic interests, and be prepared to multi-task. All interns participate in the diverse aspects of administrating a small non-profit while learning from artists experimenting with new approaches to arts creation and organization. Elsewhere provides interns on-site housing upon request. The internship boarding fee is $125 per session. All interns must have completed their junior year of college.
