Deadline Thursday, November 1, 2007 (postmarked!) - drop off until 6pm only.

Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center is offering two Van Lier Internships to eligible young digital media artists at the post-graduate level living in New York City. Each internship carries a stipend of $6,000 and a $4,000 facilities account to create work in the Harvestworks audio and multi-media studios.

Artists are expected to create a new work in our studios and interface with our staff on career development and community projects. Projects are expected to take six months to one year.

Funded by the Van Lier Foundation of the New York Community Trust, the internships are intended to advance the professional development of post-graduate digital media artists who have few financial and technical resources, and to promote diversity, equity and access in the arts.

Eligibility requirements:

1. Applicants should be young artists (generally - but not necessarily - under 30 years old), working in digital media, whose work would benefit from significant time in Harvestworks’ studios and from expert engineering assistance.

2. Applicants must reside in New York City.

3. Applicants must be able to demonstrate financial need for this internship. In the final round, income tax returns or similar documents will be required as proof of financial need.

Application (copy and paste into a separate text document) :

Applicants submit examples of their work for review by a panel of composers. They will also be asked to prove their financial need. The panel will select four finalists. Harvestworks will interview the finalists, verify their financial status, and select the two candidates.
