Art Intern
RIVET is looking for a smart, motivated intern to assist its art staff with artist correspondence, file manipulation and layout support. This intern will work closely with RIVET’s art director to perform a wide range of duties over the course of the magazine’s production cycle. It will require a commitment of roughly five hours per week, including attendance at weekly staff meetings on Tuesday evenings. Ideal candidates will have strong organization and Excel skills, as well as fluency in Adobe CS. Photography and illustration talents are a big plus. This position is unpaid, but college credit is available for students.
Associate Art Director
RIVET is looking for a motivated, enthusiastic associate art director with a keen eye and a love for magazines. The associate art director will work closely with RIVET’s senior staff to assign artwork, communicate with artists, review submissions, seek out new contributors and prepare artwork files for layout. It will require a commitment of roughly five hours per week, including attendance at weekly staff meetings on Tuesday evenings. Ideal candidates will have strong organization and Excel skills, as well as fluency in Adobe CS. A personal network of working artists and an art-related degree are a plus. This position is unpaid but offers the chance to shape the look of one of Seattle’s strongest independent magazines.
Online Editor
RIVET is looking for a smart, motivated online editor to manage and direct content for RIVETmagazine.org, which draws roughly 300 unique visitors each day. This editor will work closely with RIVET’s senior editorial staff, blog editor and design team to add and develop content for the site, including original material as well as material from the print magazine. It will require a commitment of roughly five hours per week, including attendance at weekly staff meetings on Tuesday evenings. Ideal candidates will have strong organizational skills, substantial editing experience and fluency in basic HTML. This position is unpaid but offers the chance to shape the voice of one of Seattle’s strongest independent magazines.
RIVET returns to the Hopvine this Tuesday to test your mental mettle. You got what it takes to win?
A huge, gushy thank you to everyone who turned out for Tuesday’s art auction, the amazing folks on our host committee who invited them, the generous artists who contributed their work, the Adventure School for rocking the dots and Marya Sea Kaminski for auctioneering her socks off. We raised more than $6,600 with your help.
Thanks, too, to Matt Neyens for the photos below.
