Pros
This is a small art studio in a great TriBeCa neighborhood. But don't think of a laid-back, informal work environment. You get to work with an incredible artist and an amazing group of interns. I've worked at much bigger organizations, yet the diversity this small place has is impressive. The projects require people from different backgrounds, so you work with arts administrators, photographers, writers, programmers, linguists, etc. which is very inspiring. You are given real responsibilities based on your role, and you know your work matters for a project to be successfully completed.
Cons
These are not cons but things you need to know:
- Although everyone has a certain job description, there are times when you need to step in to help others, so being flexible is key. For example, I was involved in grant writing although I didn't have any background in the subject. To me this is one of the best parts of working here as it gives you the opportunity to learn new skills.
- Everyday at the studio starts with a morning meeting (you're always in the loop!) and most of the tasks has a deadline. So you have to be punctual and responsible.
