Work-study Opportunity: Undergraduate Admissions Reviewer

Seeking one or two graduate students for a maximum 4 hour a week position through February (up to 20 hours total per person) assisting the Yale College Admissions Office and Art faculty and DUS in reviewing supplemental portfolios submitted in Art by applicants to Yale College. The position entails confidential review of anonymous portfolios by high school seniors containing drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, moving image and graphic design in the Slideroom system, and rating them from 0-5 and taking the time to write 1-3 sentences to explain your rating.

Graphic design opportunity at Yale Law School

A commission of graphic design services for INTERSECTIONS: a Yale Law School conference on art, justice, and the law. Seeking the following deliverables:

• Logo (for digital and print media)
• Conference pamphlet (schedule, speaker photos and bios)
• Conference posters (one for printing and one digital)

This year’s conference theme is “Dialogues on Restitution, Memory, and Justice.“ The conference will aim to put lawyers, artists, and activists in conversation to delve into debates concerning the rectification of loss and historic injustice with the tools offered in art and law. 

Given the theme of this year’s conference, design of conference pamphlet and conference posters should gesture broadly towards theme, but the logo design should be more general for potential use in future years. The student organizing team is looking for modern/experimental design that is still accessible for participants and panelists.

Designer should expect to have one short meeting with conference directors to discuss logo project, one comprehensive meeting with conference planning team to discuss portfolio and set timeline for other deliverables, and to conduct most other work via email.

Please reach out to Debbie Rabinovich at the Law School, directly at debbie.rabinovich@yale.edu, if you’re interested in this job. Please include work sample(s) and an estimate for deliverables. Designer will be selected ASAP on a rolling basis, with work to take place between Jan. 20 and Feb. 20.

For reference, see the 2022 print edition PDF here and more past issues here >

Eligibility: Artists currently enrolled in MFA studio art programs in the U.S. during spring 2023
Residency opportunity: June 20-July 21, 2023

This year’s residency and exhibition opportunity focuses on art and social practice offering current MFA students across disciplines the time, space and resources to be in residence for up to 4 weeks as part of the ongoing R+D Mobile Studio series. The goal of the residency is to allow for experimentation that creates a jumping off point for staging performances, convenings, artist activations, or happenings working with the available spaces in our new home. This is not a dedicated exhibition installation commission, but an adaptable and responsive multi-layered project responding to the new facility and neighborhood.

Proposals should reflect an expansion of an artist’s practice in conceptual scope, scale, or media. Proposals can reflect new work that will be created during the residency that has never been presented before. Priority will be given to projects that demonstrate exceptionally unique methods, processes, or concepts, particularly those that could not be presented in a traditional gallery setting. Please review the past R&D Mobile Studios projects to get an understanding of this program. Artists can apply as individuals or two-person collaboratives presenting a singular project. Special consideration will be given to artists who are presenting work that is directly related to their MFA studies. All artists must be currently enrolled in an MFA program during the spring of 2023 to apply for the LAB MFA program.

Locust Projects provides an artist stipend of $1,500, production budget up to $1,750 Production Costs may include (but are not limited to): production/fabrication, equipment rental, materials, specialized lighting, technical support, public programs and activations and related participant fees based upon W.A.G.E. fee calculations, artist travel above and beyond the provided stipend, shipping, disposal, and any other costs required to realize and de-install the project beyond basic infrastructure and artist fees provided by Locust Projects.

Request for Proposals for a Public Art Project in Huntington, NY

Huntington Councilwoman Joan Cergol and the Town’s Committee to Commemorate Black History invite all artists to participate in a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a public art project celebrating Black history in the Town of Huntington. A budget not to exceed $75,000 is available for this project, which is expected to cover all aspects of the commission, including design, fabrication, installation and related incidental costs.
 
The public art project will be located at Fair Meadow Park in Huntington Station, on the northwest corner of the intersection of Park Avenue, Pulaski Road, and East Fifth Street. The committee is looking for a project that pays tribute to the contributions, and in many cases, sacrifices, of noteworthy Black residents from the Town’s earliest days to its present. Huntington has been home to African-American musicians, Pulitzer-prize winning journalists, religious leaders, writers, community activists, trailblazers, business owners, and elected officials. Regardless of their economic or social station, quite a few of these individuals have left a lasting imprint of their life’s passion, personal struggles and work in Huntington, and in some cases, far beyond.  For your reference, we provide examples to inform you of our local African-American heritage that can be found online in booklets published by the Town’s African-American Historic Designation Council here.

Call for Papers for the 15th Volume of Hemisphere: Visual Cultures of the Americas: The Question of Visual Communication and Writing in the Americas

Among various Indigenous communities in North, South, and Central America, there are long, sometimes, ancient traditions of graphic communication that convey information through the use of representational imagery, codified signs, operational notation, semasiography, and glyphic writing. While some societies, such as the Maya, utilized a glyphic writing system in which information is communicated through logographic and phonetic signs, many others developed a visual communication system that had the potential to communicate beyond spoken language. Despite the increase in scholarship on visual communication over the past fifty years, American semasiographic and other pictorial communication systems remain underexamined in the field of art history.

For volume XV of Hemisphere: Visual Cultures of the Americas, we welcome submissions that focus on visual and material communication in the Americas from the ancient, Indigenous pre-contact period through European conquest and colonization and up to the present. Advanced graduate students enrolled in degree-granting institutions in the U.S. and abroad are invited to submit papers that examine Indigenous visual communication systems transhistorically and from a range of perspectives, including studies of later artists who emulate these forms of communication in their work.
