INTERN with Artists

::ARTISTIC SOLE Call for Interns ::

Artistic Sole's Internship Program offers non-paid positions to students who are currently enrolled in college and who can receive college credit. Internships run year-round on a semester-to-semester basis. We do not offer housing accommodations or relocation expenses. AS offers several kinds of internships, as we are a growing business and want to continue with our team’s momentum.

It is our hope that the right intern for any offered internship enjoys their stay with us. We would like to give the right person some knowledge in the worlds of art & entrepreneurship. In that, we hope the right person finds a home here in a grindalicious, yet paying, position.

In order to receive college credit for an AS internship, the student needs to provide a letter from their academic advisor with the necessary requirements. We ask that all interns are available for a minimum of 2-3 days a week; and commit for a school term or full school year (depending on academic requirements for receiving college credits). We know you want to be here, and trust us, we will LOVE to have you on the AS team!

Here are a few great traits we’d like for our future team member to bring to the table!

Self-motivated
Goal-oriented
Organized
Creative
Energetic
Team Player

For those willing to LISTEN, LEARN, and GROW - we can help move you towards fulfilling your potential both as a creative and as a businessperson (because in the art world, you need to be both!).

All interested persons should download/ complete the application and submit it with ALL requested materials, via email, to info@artistic-sole.com
