Mercury Arts Intern Wanted!
Posted by Alison Hallett on Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 2:44 PM
COULD YOU BE THE NEXT MERCURY ARTS INTERN??
Here's what we're looking for:
• Someone who is interested in the Portland arts scene, including visual art, books, theater, dance, and, you know, other kinds of arts stuff. If you hate the arts, you will probably hate this internship.
• Someone who can come in two days a week. Wednesdays and Thursdays are ideal, although it is not set in stone.
• Someone who can commit for a period of at least three months, and is able to get to and from our downtown office. (There isn't any parking, unfortunately, but cyclists and public transit riders can get here easily.)
• The arts intern's primary responsibilities will be helping out with our arts calendar—both online and in the paper. It involves a good amount of super-exciting data entry! Actually, if you are serious about the arts, there is no better way to learn about what's going on around town. You will become an instant expert, and can sneer down on your acquaintances accordingly.
• There will be other responsibilities that periodically arise. We'd also like you to attend our weekly editorial meetings, snuggle with the office pugs, and, if you're up for it, just generally be cool and funny. We will try to do the same.
• Someone for whom experience is its own reward. Which is a douchey way of saying that this internship is unpaid, but you will get a chance to write for the paper and work with real-live editors on generating some good clips.
It's fun here! (Actually, it really is.) Sound like something you're interested in? Shoot us an email with "Arts Intern" in the subject, and include a cover letter touching on your artsy interests, a resumé with relevant experience, and writing samples if you have them. We're hoping to find someone who can start ASAP. Maybe that's you. Good luck!
