Executive Director Opening

The National Civic Art Society, a Washington, D.C.-based, non-profit
educational organization, is seeking an executive director who will play

is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic professional committed to our
long-term goal of returning the nation's public art and architecture and
urban design to their classical moorings. In addition to fundraising
responsibilities, the executive director will ensure that the Society's
programs are on track and that decisions taken at meetings of the Board
of Directors are implemented expeditiously.

Salary, hours, and workplace arrangements are negotiable. Candidates
should submit:

*	A resumé.

and how they relate to the criteria outlined above and to your interest
in the Society's mission.

Internship Opportunities

The National Civic Art Society, a Washington, D.C.-based, non-profit
educational organization, is offering unpaid internships for university
students, as well as recent graduates, for the summer and fall of 2009.

These internships are extraordinary organization-building opportunities
for young people who aspire to make a difference in the nation's
cultural life. 

Programmatic internships. Graduate/postgrad-level internships will
involve development of strategic programs as well as foundation research
and grant-proposal writing, under the guidance of experienced
professionals on the Society's Board of Directors. These internships are
designed for students with strong backgrounds in art and architecture
history or historic preservation who have a lively interest in the
current resurgence of traditional design. Exceptionally qualified
undergraduates may be eligible.
 
Operational internships. Internships also are available to students or
recent graduates interested in marketing, new media, research and
writing, fundraising/development, or database management.

Knowledge of the classical civic-art tradition as it has unfolded in
Europe and the United States is preferable or essential, depending on
the type of internship being sought.

Housing will not be provided, nor, as a rule, will office space. 
Interns will meet regularly with supervising Directors or staff. Hours
are flexible.
