TWO INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS OVER SUMMER 2019 AT THE SCULPTURE CENTER BECOME AVAILABLE THROUGH THE STUDIO INSTITUTE ARTS INTERN
Both Internship opportunities are as follows:
1) Ohio Outdoor Sculpture Intern
The 2019 summer Arts Intern will concentrate on editing, updating, and adding to our Ohio Outdoor Sculpture database which is held online in OMEKA 2, a specialized CMS (content management system). There are currently 1,500+ sculptures in our online database at http://oosi.sculpturecenter.org/. The website was completely redesigned when it was migrated forwarded from OMEKA 1 to 2 and needs systematic revisions and additions.
Specifically, the intern will choose a discrete selection of a certain type of sculpture now in the Ohio Outdoor Sculpture Inventory for an in depth research project that will result in interpretative information on the sculptures and online walking and driving tours of the sculptures. For example, the intern may decide to concentrate on post-World War 2 sculptures, historical figures, abstract sculptures, or the like. The research will locate information on the specific sculptures, attempt to place them in their time period by determining the reasons that they were selected for a public setting, and provide interpretative descriptions about the sculpture on the website. If the sculptors are still living, the intern will do phone and email interviews with them.
Interns will provide bi-weekly, at a minimum, updates to TSC’s social media pages for Facebook and Instagram. Intern will add each new OOS sculpture that is updated and added, info that ED requests, images from activities around TSC, images from summer interns’ activities. Some updating of TSC’s website, done through WordPress. Additionally the Intern will work as gallery supervisor on some Saturday afternoons to guard galleries, greet the public, and provide visitors with interpretative tours if requested.
Projects Include:
– Researching sculpture across Ohio and adding them to the Sculpture Center’s Database
– Writing short, engaging, art historical and historical information for sculptures for their online page
