SFA is offering two very different internships for Summer 2010:
Garlic Festival Arts Intern
As the Garlic Festival Arts Intern, you would be involved with the premiere local food and sustainability event in the state. Throughout the summer, you would direct art workshops for kids in which they will create pieces based on the theme, "What is your vision for the future of rural Minnesota?". And the artwork they create will be entered in the Youth Art Competition, which culminates in a judged exhibit - which you would direct - at the Garlic Festival. Includes a $1,500 stipend and mileage reimbursement.
GrazeFest Internship
If you really want to get your hands dirty on sustainable farms, then check out the GrazeFest Internship. You'll work with livestock on 4 - 6 farms across the state that use sustainable grazing practices - everything from 8-pound chickens up to 1,000-pound cattle. Plus, you'll help plan and run GrazeFest events at Mill City Farmers Market in Minneapolis and at a group of farms out in the country. Includes room and board, $1,500 stipend and mileage reimbursement.
