Because the Wassaic Project is a small, young organization, interns have a unique opportunity to contribute to the long-term identity of the organization and take on substantial responsibility. Interns’ responsibilities will be primarily in one of three categories: Education, Development or Programming.

Education Interns should have a background or specific interest in museum/art education.

Development Internship
Development interns will be involved in three of our major fundraisers: our annual appeal, our Winter Benefit in New York City and the sale of our benefit print. This position is ideal for someone looking to gain valuable skills applicable at all non-profits and arts organizations as well as artists interested in learning about the inner workings of special events and art sales.

Tasks will include:

Tasks will include:
- Helping to coordinate the Summer Exhibition open call and be involved in the review of hundreds of emerging artists

Internship Opportunity

 For students interested in any aspect of the magazine world this is a really great opportunity and it is close to Savannah.

Hilton Head Monthly Magazine is looking for photography interns who are bursting with new ideas. Come join our small but fun-loving crew and see the creative process from start to finish. You'll be in the trenches with us as we dream up the best ways to present and illustrate our storyboard, be on-set for photoshoots, and be given the tools you need to express yourself creatively.

The gist of it:

Interns must supply own equipment (when we said you'd be given the tools, we meant more figurative tools).

We're really flexible on hours, so you can come in when you want. We only ask that when you come in, come in to work. (We like to screw around on Facebook, too, we just don't do it all day).

We will include you in the process starting with the initial editorial meeting, and will welcome your input on photography and art direction. Any wild hairs you get in terms of shooting something for publication will be fair game. We rarely say no to pitches, so long as there is passion behind them.

We have really, really good coffee (the owners of the company are European).

As mentioned we are a small staff. Our art department consists of one full-time art director. We work very closely with several area photographers, though, and opportunities to work one-on-one with them abound.

Those interested can email barry@hiltonheadmonthly.com.

Web Design Course

After speaking with alumni over the past year many of them emphasized the importance of the Web Design course they took with Liz Darling while being a student. I highly recommend this class to all students. These are important skills to learn not just for your own work but because of the  lack of reasonable and reliable web designers out there in the world.

Winter Quarter MW 2-4:30
PHOT 306: Photographic Imaging for the Web
PHOT 724: Web Design for Photography
