Gardenarium, Paloma Dawkins
Video Game Art (VGA) Gallery, a Chicago-based art organization and nonprofit that supports artists who make video games and related new media art, is currently seeking two interns to join our team for the summer season! These interns would be working from June until early fall (duration flexible) and about 5-10 hours a week, including ~hour long weekly meetings. They would also receive a stipend of $200 upon the term’s completion. While the role can adapt around the applicants experience and interests, potential responsibilities and duties include:
Sourcing or writing articles for our monthly web zine
Researching grants and assisting in grant writing
Working on longstanding projects including:
Developing image accessibility for the VGA website
Helping create a web archive (Squarespace) of past VGA projects and exhibitions
Writing and designing Mailchimp emails for current VGA members
Managing inventory of A/V and computer equipment
Working with the editorial team of our peer-reviewed journal the VGA Reader
Brainstorming and helping execute both online and in-person programming
Helping hone and boost VGA’s social media presence
File organization (both online and in-person)
This role is remote with potential for in-person opportunities within the Chicago area. We are looking for passionate, well-rounded individuals with an interest and passion for growing the discipline of video game making in new cultural directions and supporting risk-taking work that is under-supported and under-represented in commercial video game contexts.
