OVAC i n terns continued from page 9 impact within the organization and thus within the larger arts community. So in that way, interning with a smaller, locally minded organization can be more rewarding despite the fact that not everybody will instantly recognize it on a job resume. Daisy: I would recommend being an intern to anyone who has the desire to push themselves, expand their horizons and take on new and challenging tasks. An internship is what you make of it; if you do not take it seriously and expect to learn, your experience will be fairly limited. I am still using skills I learned from my time as an intern and I am grateful for the experience.
No experience is required to be an OVAC intern but the intern needs to work a minimum of four hours a week. The length of the internship is flexible. An internship is most beneficial for those interested in the arts community and/or non-profit administration. To apply, please send a resume and a letter describing your interests in the arts and some possible interests in your future to: Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition, PO Box 1946, Oklahoma City, OK 73101. n Erin Latham and Tommy Ball
