I Made It! Market - Intern Opportunity

Handmade in PA announced that Carrie Nardini, the brains behind Pittsburgh’s I Made It! Market, is looking for an intern interested in gaining experience with all aspects of running an indie craft market for the remainder of 2009, as well as for the Spring 2010 term. I Made It! Market partners with non-profit, arts and community organizations to raise awareness and funds for organizations working to improve our communities AND provides opportunities for local artists and makers to introduce their work in diverse neighborhoods. The market has been crafting it up since May of 2007 and will be busy in 2010. Their goal is to provide opportunities and resources for artists and makers and really dig creating connections. Are you interested in crafts? Have you developed Social Media savvy? Do you like to meet new people and promote small businesses? Then we may be the right internship opportunity for you. In return, the market will work with your college or university to give you class credit. I Made It! Market is based in Pittsburgh, PA.

o Copy Writing for ads, web, blogs, press releases and more
o Research into creating new partnerships on the non-profit, community and arts organization front
o Business Development for small businesses

IMI Organizer, Carrie Nardini, who has more than ten years of professional marketing experience including managing University of Pittsburgh interns, will manage this individual. She can provide testimonials and access to at least three interns who she has supervised in the past five years.
