Works Progress is hiring!

WORKS PROGRESS, an artist-led public design studio based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, seeks a PART TIME PROJECT ASSISTANT

This is an opportunity for an emerging cultural producer to assist a rapidly growing organization with large and small-scale public projects. The Works Progress (WP) Project Assistant will work directly with WP Co-Directors, as well as with project partners from diverse fields and backgrounds. This position requires outstanding communication skills, flexibility and independence, creative and critical thinking skills, confidence, and curiosity. This is an excellent opportunity for hands-on learning, teaching, and creative networking. Your weekly work schedule will be flexible, but some in-state travel with WP will be required.

Because of the commitment required for this position, we are not accepting applications from full-time students. Expanded Works Progress volunteer opportunities will be posted soon.

Qualified candidates will have experience creating or facilitating public art and/or design projects, public programs, or comparable creative activities; demonstrated communication skills; familiarity with online social and productivity platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr, Vimeo, and Google Docs); as well as an interest in public engagement and social issues. Graphic design and/or basic video production experience is a plus. We are looking to hire an individual with diverse life and work experience, and a unique perspective that is divergent from our own.

Compensation is $10 to $15 per hour, depending on experience, with a minimum of 10 to 20 hours per week; with an opportunity for more involvement and project-based work in the coming year.

Learn more about Works Progress on our website, see how we communicate on Twitter, check out our projects on Flickr, and explore our growing community on Facebook.

To apply, please send a letter of interest and your resume to Colin and Shanai at hello [at] worksprogress [dot] org on or before November 7th, 2011.

The start date is December 5th, 2011. Please help us spread the word about this great opportunity!
