Interference Arts is seeking a part time Artistic Associate to assist with upcoming arts project development and technical production work. Artistic Director Craig Harris is a composer, theater artist, writer and producer who creates music, multimedia performances, interactive sculptural environments and creative story spaces. The Artistic Associate will be helping with ongoing development and production related to the Legacy Dream Space interactive multimedia exhibition, and with upcoming performances and presentations. The Artistic Associate will also be assisting with website maintenance and social media activities.
The ideal candidate will be a versatile and creative individual, with a varied background, diverse interests, and a solid foundation in multimedia arts development and production in both performance and exhibition circumstances. It is understood that the Artistic Associate will have some but not all of the skills and expertise desired, so a successful candidate should have a demonstrated ability and desire to learn quickly in areas where experience is currently limited. Work will take place at a home studio, at a studio at the California Building in Northeast Minneapolis, and at venues where work is being produced as required. There are also opportunities to do remote work. There will be a need to hire additional people periodically to fulfill project requirements, and the Artistic Associate should be comfortable serving as an interface with contractors and others involved in Interference Arts activities.
Preferred Skills and Background
• Good communication, writing and time management skills
• A solid and stable work ethic
• Ability to work well both independently and in collaboration with others
• Project management & production experience
• Facility with the current social media landscape
• Photo, Video and Audio Editing Skills (e.g. Adobe Photoshop, Premiere and/or FinalCut Pro, Audition, Media Encoder and InDesign; other sound editing and performance systems)
• Audio/Video/Lighting theater and exhibit production and performance systems
• Familiarity with Microsoft 365 programs (e.g. Word, Excel and PowerPoint)
• Website Editing/Updating
• Isadora video and multimedia software
Position Details
• Independent Contractor status
• Approximately 25-30 hours/month
• Flexible hours, depending on project needs
• Compensation: $25-$40/hour, depending on skill set and experience
• The Artistic Associate may have opportunities to utilize our 1295-square foot California Building studio space, depending on needs and availability.
• There may be opportunities for the Artistic Associate to partake in educational opportunities to gain additional needed skills, paid for or subsidized by Interference Arts.
Application Process
Please send the following materials to Craig Harris:
• A cover letter describing your interest in the position and organization, and how your experience aligns with the responsibilities of the Artistic Associate role;
• A résumé highlighting relevant technical, production and creative experience; and
• Two to three references
Applicant materials will be reviewed as received. A decision will be made based on follow-up communications and interviews in a timely fashion. The goal is to fill the position within 2 weeks after the deadline.
About Craig Harris
Craig Harris is the Artistic Director of Interference Arts and is a composer, theater artist, writer and producer. Harris creates music, multimedia performances, interactive sculptural environments, and creative story spaces. He has a decades-long commitment to arts-based community development, pursuing a wide variety of projects – incorporating new technological resources that serve artists; implementing publishing, conference and festival platforms to facilitate sharing of knowledge and collaboration; and advancing creative facilities and organizational development projects. He employs future visioning research approaches to examine current artistic practices, and to illustrate how improved resources could better serve artists’ creative needs and audience experiences.
About Interference Arts
Interference Arts employs music, multimedia performance and installation, arts-based community development, and future visioning research to promote healthy individuals and vital, sustainable communities. We are built on the foundation that the arts play an important role in addressing human challenges and breaking down traditional barriers to communication and problem solving. Interference Arts applies the concept “interference” as a paradigm representing the way the company employs the arts to engage with the world – interfering with energy and action to make change – like a canoe paddle coming into contact with the water, or like a butterfly flapping its wings and causing something to happen on the other side of the planet.
