Austin EcoNetwork, an environmental news site based in Austin, is dedicated to educating the public about the local environment. They are currently seeking interns for two positions. Read on for more information.
Artist Collaboration/Internship
Join the Austin EcoNetwork team as our in-house artist! The Austin EcoNetwork is an
environmental news site based in Austin, dedicated to educating the public about the local
environment. We are always thinking up new, fun, and creative ways to do that, which is where
you come in. We are looking for an artist to work with us on a fun new project aimed at
illustrating the news.
This will not be a busywork kind of internship. AEN’s in-house artist will have the opportunity to
jump right into the action, working with the editor to illustrate the local news. We’re essentially
bringing back the art of the political cartoon.
Responsibilities will include:
• Working with the AEN intern to tell news stories in fun and creative ways
• Creating illustrations and drawing political cartoons for the Austin EcoNetwork website
Who should apply:
• Creative people who love the environment and want to work on something new and innovative
• Applicants do not necessarily have to be art majors, they just have to be talented artists with a
passion for the local news
