CHRYSLER MUSEUM OF ART STUDIO ASSISTANTSHIP, USA

The Chrysler Museum Glass Studio is accepting applications for its October 2012 to January 2013 Studio Assistantship term. Applications are due by 10 a.m. on 12th September, 2012.

Volunteer Assistantship
The Studio Assistantship is an educational opportunity designed for students who have completed an initial course of glass study (B.F.A./A.A. or multiple workshops) and are looking to gain practical, professional studio experience in a Museum setting. Studio Assistants will help the studio team with public glass demonstrations, classes, and general operations of the Studio for up to 10 hours a week for four months. The assistantship is unpaid, but offers many benefits including the opportunity to build skills, perform, and teach; studio time; significant discounts on classes; working with world-recognized visiting artists, and the opportunity to participate (commission-free) in the studio’s quarterly art sale. Studio assistants must have prior experience working with hot glass.

Travelling Assistantship
During each four-month session, the Chrysler Museum Glass Studio accepts one Travelling Assistant. The traveller typically comes from afar to participate in this certificate program. The Museum provides a free apartment for this Assistant during the duration of their assistantship. The Traveller has additional responsibility and is expected to have slightly more glass studio experience. Please make a note in your letter of interest if applying specifically for this position. We are now accepting applications for the February – May 2013 term Travelling Position.
