Summer Studio Assistantship 2009
Application Deadline: April 1, 2009

Each year Peters Valley makes available, to qualified people, the opportunity to participate in our summer program by assisting our instructors and studio heads. We need excited, engaged, and emerging artists to fill this role. Our instructors are nationally known professional artists. You will have the opportunity to meet and get to know them and perhaps to network for your future careers. This could be an invaluable addition toy your education, especially when you consider the variety of course offered in a specific studio. The work is hared, the days are long, and the pay is nothing. Housing and most of your meals are provided.

Applications are made to the director and decisions are made by the heads of the studio, our resident artists. Heavy emphasis will be placed on your knowledge of studio operations. Applications must include the enclosed application form, 10 slides of your recent work, a resume and two letters of recommendation. Also a letter of intent is required. That letter must state your objectives for the summer and the outlines of a potential project that you might hope to complete during class downtime. You may apply for a time that is shorter that the full summer though the minimum time accepted will be one month. There will be opportunities to show and/or sell your work in our store and gallery as well as to take a course as a student in an area of your choice depending on availability.

In the event that a workshop in your studio has been cancelled, you will be asked to work 12 hours during that week for Peters Valley, either in the studio doing tasks assigned by the department head, or helping out in the other areas of the Valley such as the office, kitchen, housekeeping, etc.

We view the influx of our summer assistants as one of the most exciting times of the year. You may remember your summer at PV as on one the most exciting an productive periods of your education.

Send your application materials (application form, slides, resume, letter of intent, and recommendations) to the following address postmarked no later than

April 1st!
