JOB TITLE: Designing for Change-Chicago Artivism Intern


DEPARTMENT: Education


FLSA STATUS:

JOB SUMMARY: CHM has openings for 8 Chicago Artivism interns in support of the Designing for Change: Chicago Protest Art of the 1960’s-70’s exhibition. The internship runs Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 10 am-2 pm between July 9 – July 31 with a culminating showcase on August 3, 2024.


About Designing for Change: Chicago Protest Art of the 1960’s-70’s: Created to affirm art’s position as a powerful tool for social change, the Designing for Change exhibition explores how Chicagoans in the 1960s and ’70s used art to advance the Chicago Freedom Movement for equal housing, Black Power, anti-Vietnam War, women's liberation, and early LGBTQIA+ movements. The exhibition features more than one hundred artifacts and images, mostly drawn from CHM’s collection and not previously exhibited, as well as newly acquired works from contemporary activist artists responding to issues that parallel those of the past.

This summer, successful applicants will learn about Chicago’s history through the vibrant lens of the activist art and art makers featured in Designing for Change. Interns will engage in hands-on experiences alongside teaching artists and museum staff developing art and design skills to create art to increase awareness around issues they care about.


About Artivism: Artivism (Art + Activism): the use of creative and artistic methods to cultivate awareness and motivate change in society.
