About the role
A nationally recognized artist — represented in the permanent collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, and the Smithsonian Archives of American Art, and a Tennessee Williams Fellow in Fiction and the author of nine books — is looking for a part-time intern to assist with studio administration in Asheville, NC.

What you'll do
- Prepare and send out manuscripts and fiction submissions to publishers and literary journals- Research and apply to grants and artist residencies on behalf of the artist- Compile and send informational packages (including photos) to out-of-town museums and galleries- Handle general correspondence — emails, letters, follow-ups- Keep submissions and outreach organized and on track
About you
- Detail-oriented and reliable — deadlines matter here- Strong writing and communication skills- Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision- Interest in contemporary art, literature, or arts administration is a plus- Experience with grant writing or literary submissions a plus, but not required
This is a rare opportunity to work closely with a significant figure in American contemporary art and literature. The day-to-day is practical, but the context is anything but ordinary.
