JOB | NON-PROFIT:
Writing Internship For Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center

Harvestworks offers several internships, in return for time worked, interns can enroll without charge in our internationally acclaimed classes, gain teaching experience through our “Interns Teach Interns” initiative, and receive access to lab equipment free of charge. Individual arrangements (e.g. in compliance with the requirements of your school) up to a full-time position, or positions for credit, can be made if necessary. We’re looking for a new intern who has writing experience and an interest in art/technology. The ideal intern will be great at finding new and useful content from around the web that would be of interest to the Harvestworks audience (e.g. new music, new media art, sound art, hacks, performance videos, new technologies and software, Internet culture, etc. …). The intern will then be in charge of daily blog posts, but will also have the opportunity to work on Harvestworks projects and performances.

Work from distance is not a problem but we strongly encourage NY-based people to meet at Harvestworks and become part of the community.

Ideal writers should already be active on social media platforms. We are looking for writers who are willing to build on our existing platform to connect and grow their audience as they develop their personal and professional skills, learn about art and technology, and become part of a larger art community. Most importantly, their passion must show through!

The deadline to apply is April 12, 2014.  See full details at http://www.harvestworks.org/writing-internship/
