Artist Anna Carey Looking for an intern to assist with the administration needed to showcase

work as a contemporary artist. The job requires a dedication of one work day a week (7 hours)
for 6 months. The role is for students or anyone wanting and insight into contemporary arts
practice or practical experience with arts administration. The role is unpaid but I ideally would
like to create a permanent paid role in the future if the circumstances are right. Due to the
current COVID19 restrictions the assistant will work from home and will communicate via
Zoom to meet and discuss projects and duties. On the zoom meeting I want to offer a session
of approximately 20 minutes where the intern can discuss their own practice or career goals.
The aim of this is to provide mentorship and advice based on my experience in exchange. I
want to offer this as I believe in supporting emerging artists as I received support from
mentors early in my career and it helped immensely. Location is flexible.
