Summer Internship
The Summer Internship is a special opportunity for emerging artists with a flare for food and farming and studio skills. This 3 month internship runs throughout the duration of our Summer Arts Institute (SAI) Workshops. The Summer Intern contributes to the culture of community at WSW, by bringing SAI participants together over a shared mid-day meal, and also helps with many other aspects of our SAI programming and working extensively with our ArtFarm project.

Like the other internship positions available at WSW, the Summer Intern has access to all WSW studios in their non-working time and is encouraged to create work. This opportunity also offers a private room in a neighboring house and a stipend of $200/month, plus lunch during Summer Arts Institute.

Summer intern responsibilities include:

  • helping to prepare lunch for Summer Arts Institute participants
  • assisting workshops

  • planting, maintaining, and harvesting papermaking fibers, vegetables, and herbs
  • cleaning and general maintenance
  • setting up studios for workshops
The position requires 40 hours a week, including weekends, in exchange for time off during the week.

Requirements:
It is important that you have a strong desire to live and work in a close knit community of women artists. Cooking experience is very helpful. Recipes and guidance are provided by WSW staff, but you will be expected to be comfortable working independently in the kitchen. A car is a necessity.

Term: The 2010 Summer internship starts June 7 and goes until September 3.

Postmark deadline: February 15

Notification: April 15

Application must include:
  • application form
  • a complete resume
  • three current letters of reference
  • a letter of interest addressing why an internship at WSW is important to you, and what type of experience(s) you would bring to the workshop.
  • a self-addressed, stamped envelope for return of materials
  • Sample menus for a week of SAI lunches
