Internships

We offer unpaid internships to college students pursuing or completing a degree in printmaking or to those who have recently completed a course of study in printmaking. Interns assist with workshops, technical research, exhibitions and daily studio maintenance. The internships are custom designed to suit the needs of the studio and the intern and to further the intern artist's education.

Internships are six to twelve months in length and are usually two days per week plus workshops. There are also opportunities for summer internships that work exclusively with our summer intensive workshops. Zea Mays Printmaking interns learn the ins and outs of a working studio and have the opportunity to observe some of the finest printmakers in the field in action during the workshops. They also have opportunities to pursue their own work at the studio during their internship.

We are looking for interns who have a basic knowledge of printmaking (intaglio, relief and monoprint) and who have a special interest in safer and non-toxic printmaking practices. We really appreciate good communication skills, computer skills and all around good work ethic. Applications are reviewed and filled on an on-going basis, so it's best to apply early.

We currently are set with interns for Spring 2012. We are reviewing applications for internships beginning in Summer 2012.
