AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Immediate Artist Volunteer Opportunity with ArtCorps®

Use your art to strengthen sustainable development in Honduras
Calling all performance and visual artists: ArtCorps has a special immediate opportunity for the right artist!

ArtCorps seeks one artist to use his/her artistic talent to strengthen sustainable development at Pico Bonito National Park on the northern coast of Honduras.

The project will begin as soon as possible and end in December 2009.

The artist will:

* Work directly with Bosques Pico Bonito, an innovative social enterprise that works toward solving the global climate change crisis through the production of carbon offsets.
* Use the arts to raise awareness about the environment, as well as to promote productive and cooperative relationships between community members and Bosques Pico Bonito.
* Work as a volunteer and reside in the national park area for the duration of the project.
* All work, living and international travel expenses will be paid for by ArtCorps and Bosques Pico Bonito.

To qualify, artists must be proficient in Spanish and have community arts experience. Knowledge of environmental work is preferred. Contact Marta immediately at marta.oslin@artcorp.org or +1 978-927-2404 x4 for more information and to apply.
We are also accepting general applications for 2010 placements in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras until June 26, 2009. For more information and to fill out an initial application, visit http://www.artcorp.org/artist_placements.html.
