Katherine Dunham Internship: Deadline 31 October 2011

The Regional Arts Commission (RAC) is accepting applications for the Katherine Dunham Internship for the 2012 winter semester.

The internship, which includes a $2500 stipend, was created by Sara Burke, a RAC commissioner, and her husband, Jack, to assist African Americans who are interested in pursuing a career in arts management. It was named as a tribute to Katherine Dunham, the renowned
choreographer, dancer and social activist with whom Ms. Burke studied dance in East St. Louis.

The Katherine Dunham Intern will work closely with the RAC grants team, assisting in the grant process, during which hundreds of applications are received and reviewed by the staff, citizen panels and the commissioners. Reading grants and attending reviews gives the intern an excellent working knowledge about how to approach grant applications, an important skill for an arts administrator.

In addition, The Katherine Dunham Internship experience may include work in marketing, public relations, the RAC Gallery, the Community Artist Training (CAT) Institute, a volunteer program, or special projects with the intent of providing broad experience while also tailoring work to the specific interests and skills of the intern. Work may also include assisting in the development of programs and materials aimed at increasing the diversity of RAC's programs and audiences.

The internship requires a commitment of 300 hours during the winter semester and is open to students, recent graduates and artists working in the field.

Applicants must submit a resume, a letter of recommendation from a professor in the field or a recent employer, as well as write an essay (250-500 words) answering the question, "Why are you interested in arts administration and how do you think this internship will help you achieve your goals?" They should be sent via email to internmgr@stlrac.org. The deadline for applications is Monday, October 31.

For more information about the Katherine Dunham Internship and other unpaid internships at RAC, http://www.art-stl.com/rac/interns.cfm or call Diane Kline at 314-863-5811.

The art-historical study of photography has typically focused on photographs that were published or exhibited in their contemporary moment. This focus has largely excluded private, underground, and subcultural materials as well as vast expanses of photography produced outside the context of the professional art world. By attending to the amateur photographer Alice Austen (1866-1952) and to pictures that were little known or shown at the time of their making, this talk, from art historian Richard Meyer, argues for an alternative approach to the history of photography.
