Corita Art Center is seeking an Education and Public Programs Intern to support our ongoing project to make arts education initiatives publicly accessible. Rooted in Corita Kent’s pedagogy, these initiatives will focus on CAC’s extensive collection of artwork and archival materials. The intern will help support in the interpretation of these materials for use in public programs and curatorial projects as we lead up to the opening of our new location! Activities will include: outreach and tour organizing for neighboring organizations and educators; artist-led workshops; research and writing of didactic materials and tour prompts. The Intern will also be expected to partake in weekly team meetings with all CAC staff.
