Project Description

Join our studio working with two professional artists on a multimedia project featuring performance, interactive projections, large-scale sculpture, a concept album, and exhibitions in multiple venues. Our art group will be developing a collection of physical and digital art components for their new public art project over the coming months. We are looking for two to three students to support this studio work, document/share the art processes online, and support our team in pursuing research and grants to further the work.

Research Tasks: If you are chosen to be Social Media Lead you will help develop workflows and create engaging content for Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, and YouTube. You will help us build and grow the social media presence on each of these channels and suggest unique and dynamic ideas for each piece of content. As the Grants Coordinator, you will identify grants appropriate to the work we do and support the team in applying to them. Studio Assistants can support these aforementioned roles but will also be integral in managing the studio space and supporting the creation of planned works.

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Everyone is welcome to apply, but those with prior experience in a particular area will be given preference.

Motivated and enthusiastic students preferred. We welcome anyone eager to learn and contribute, whether your strengths lie in media, writing, artmaking, organization, or something else.

Mentoring Philosophy

As a meta-modernist artist and educator with over three decades of experience, I have mentored many students, guiding them through deep creative exploration that inspires curiosity and nurtures resilience. Grounded in current psychology research on motivation, I emphasize intrinsic drive and positive encouragement. I am committed to promoting a safe and inclusive environment where learning arises from personally motivated inquiry. With a long history of grant-funded and publicly commissioned projects, and a significant online presence, I encourage students to explore the intersections of conceptual philosophy, literary research, and digital arts. I foster a space for experimentation and critical inquiry, guiding students to develop work that is conceptually rich, socially relevant, and able to engage confidently with complexity.
