Studio Internship

Each term, WSW hosts a team of studio interns who work directly with the Studio Manager and Artistic Director. Interns will work on projects that may include printmaking, letterpress, papermaking, and book arts, in addition to assisting with the ongoing operations of the facility. Studio interns are crucial participants in WSW’s creative community. Interns will be asked to work hard and in return will be encouraged, supported, and challenged in their artistic lives.

Responsibilities:

• Working with resident artists in the studio, as necessary, but especially for artist’s book production
• Assisting workshops and classes ((i) Summer Art Institute for spring term; see https://wsworkshop.org/summer-art-institute/ (ii) Art-in-Education for fall term; see  https://wsworkshop.org/art-in-education/)
• Maintaining studio functionality: Servicing and troubleshooting equipment, performing organizational and cleaning projects, turning over resident housing, and potluck setup/breakdown
• Completing other studio design/print projects as necessary (i.e. posters for Art-in-Education or Chili Bowl, thank you cards, t-shirts, etc.)

Interns work 40 hours/week, generally Monday through Friday, 9:00-5:00, but the schedule may change to accommodate the Workshop’s programming. Interns have access to the studios for their own work outside of regular working hours and with respect to studio programming. The internship session culminates in a group exhibition of work created during the term.
