artcritical Seeks Editorial Assistant/Listings Manager Intern for New York Arts Calendar

artcritical, an online magazine launched in 2003, is recruiting an intern to serve as editorial assistant and listings manager. The role involves maintaining the publication's comprehensive calendar of New York City visual arts events, which includes exhibition openings and closings, lectures, panels, and editorial selections. Responsibilities include liaising with galleries to ensure listing accuracy, working on calendar page design and layout, and assisting the editor with picture research and layout tasks. The internship offers a $50 daily compensation for one eight-hour workday per week, starting immediately and typically lasting up to one year. Publisher and editor David Cohen occasionally arranges lunches for interns to meet notable figures in the art world. Candidates should be detail-oriented with organizational skills; knowledge of MS Excel and WordPress is beneficial but training is provided. The position, advertised in August 2011, was filled by September 2011, but artcritical remains open to inquiries from interested individuals. The magazine underwent a design overhaul in 2010 to integrate new media and advertising capabilities.
