    Position Descriptions

     

    Graphic Design

    The Revolving Museum has several projects where a graphic design student(s) would be very helpful. Intern projects include creating marketing tools such as PowerPoint presentations to support programs and initiatives, brochures and other promotional print pieces. The Museum is also looking to redesign its electronic monthly newsletter. Other graphic design requests include providing graphic elements for the monthly e-newsletter, stationary templates, business cards, thank you cards, invitations and signage. Students can be involved with print production including selecting print vendors, preparing print files, and conducting press checks. The Museum also has 20-years worth of artwork documentation in the form of slides and digital images that need organizing. This would entail scanning some slides and establishing a digital image library.

     

    Art Administration

    Work closely with the museum staff to assist with administrative tasks around the office. We especially need help with our database. The right person will be detail oriented and possess excellent computer skills. Experience in an office setting preferred.

    Photographers/Videographers

    A photography student is needed to document all Revolving Museum activities and events. Primary duties include photographing or videotaping student workshops and youth program activities, exhibition openings, festivals, artwork documentation, public art, fundraisers, and personnel photos for the website. Depending upon the student’s abilities, they may be asked to collaborate with a graphic designer to choose images for publication, prepare image files, and help finalize print design. Other duties may include cataloging images and distributing marketing materials.

     

    Art Education Assistants

    The Revolving Museum runs educational programs at Lowell Public Schools and at the Museum itself. Interns are needed to assist workshop artists with instruction and coordination in all educational programs. Special event educational workshops are also held year round. Interns will observe teaching techniques, help instruct the children, and assist the lead artist to prepare curriculum and materials.

     

    Revolving Museum Art Ambassadors

    The Revolving Museum seeks a student to act as an Art Ambassador on their campus and/or the Lowell area. The student will post flyers and place postcards advertising The Revolving Museum’s exhibits and cultural events on campus and seek other ways to advertise to students and faculty. The goal of the Art Ambassador is to educate students about The Revolving Museum, to encourage them to visit and/or to become members. The Art Ambassador may also work to expand this marketing approach to include other schools and or local communities that do not normally visit Lowell's Arts & Culture district or museums. The student will work closely with Revolving Museum staff to establish a route, posting places and overall marketing plan for the semester. A student with communications or graphic design abilities is helpful but not necessary. The student should like to talk and meet people, have the time and energy to post flyers at many locations and be enthusiastic about art!
