ArtWorks is seeking interns for its paid summer internships — the deadline to apply online is June 1, 2015. High school students can apply now for one of two internships: Lead artist/supervisor: Tia Richardson. Interns who live in or are connected to the Layton Boulevard West Neighborhood will be hired as a team to collaborate in the design and painting of a large 2D wall-sized outdoor mural and sculpture garden that will be installed in Burnham Park. Interns will learn community-building through several structured public workshops for neighborhood residents to participate in the development of the mural’s content. The public workshops will involve games that use movement and story-sharing for everyone to share about their lives and connections to their park. Afterwards, the team will create a design capturing the essence of the stories shared and honoring the vibrant lives in the area, and then paint the mural and sculptures. A portion of the painting process will be open to community residents. During the design process there will be an opportunity, not a requirement, to learn some Adobe Photoshop for interns who are interested. This program builds cooperation skills, good listening skills and a willingness to stretch beyond one’s comfort zone. The program will run Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9am-12pm with some evening and weekend work shifts TBD from June 29 to August 21, 2015. Do you have feedback on Milwaukee NNS's reporting?
