Arts Internships
Job description:
Medicine Wheel Productions, a non-profit arts organization in
South Boston, needs interns who want to work in public art for
the fall semester. The project is Medicine Wheel, created by installation
artist Michael Dowling (founder and director of Medicine Wheel
Productions). This will be the fourteenth year of the installation
and 24-hour vigil at the Boston Center for the Arts Cyclorama
in honor of World AIDS Day (December 1). Interns help with every
aspect of the production, and are given the opportunity to focus
on their own personal area of arts as much as possible. Duties
include production of art work, construction and dismantling of
installation, research, community outreach, writing. The precise
nature of each intern’s activities will vary from year to
year depending on skills. But all interns are expected to contribute
wherever help is needed when asked. There are also volunteers
from the community. It’s a team effort, hard work, and very exciting.
The reward is the opportunity to help bring to fruition a sculptural
installation of stunning beauty and a participatory artistic experience
of great spirituality and transcendence.
