Community Mural program internship
PAID OPPORTUNITY
The Intern will be supporting the Community Mural & Public Art Coordinator during the production, completion, and installation of a large-scale mural that will be installed on the facade of a Historic building in downtown San Antonio during Summer 2022.
The Intern will shadow and perform hands-on duties involving communicating and coordinating with the lead and assistant artists; managing and tracking deadlines and project progress; learning tangible project management skills for nonprofits (collecting quantitative & qualitative data, etc.); as well as actually painting and supporting the mural in normal production days and community paint days.
This opportunity is perfect for any arts intern to learn more about managing large-scale projects, more specifically community-driven mural projects and public art. The intern will have the chance to network with our emerging and professional artists and other community leaders that our organization interacts with. The intern will learn and be challenged to think critically about public art and its role in our communities; the intern will be invited to be part of discussions, processes, and more where their voice will be encouraged to be heard.
In addition to this specific project, the Intern will be able to be part of shadowing and managing other projects for the following year as well as experiencing any other community events or programming via our other programs (El Placazo, mural preservation and our youth program). Additionally, at the start of their internship, we will set up goals that the intern will aim to achieve, including anything they’re specifically interested in that may not be listed above but still relevant to their time with our organization.
Interns must be ready to start on or before June 6, and can end on or after August 12, 2022, but not before. Interns must work 40-hours per week, but no more. This can include weeknights and weekends as may be required by our schedule. Specific hours in a week worked can be flexible as long as the intern fulfills a 40-hour commitment. Internship pays $350 per week. Space is limited and competitive.
Send a cover letter explaining why you would be a good fit for San Anto, a resume including your college/university work, community/volunteer experience, and at least one reference to murals@sananto.org. Since we work with youth, background checks will be required. Deadline to apply: March 14, 2022. Funding for this opportunity is provided by the Bexar County 2022 Arts Internship Grant.
