Creative Time, New York City’s vanguard and veteran public arts presenter, seeks a creative and proactive new filmmaker to help tell the Creative Time story.
 
The Video Fellow is central to Creative Time’s communication and programming efforts—helping us document our over forty-year history, attracting greater buzz for our projects, growing our audience, and building excitement for our artists’ ideas and the work that we do. The fellowship is a 12-month part-time position. Creative Time is currently operating with a staggered schedule of in-person and work from home hours. Applicants should be based in New York City as the fellow is expected to work one full day per week in the Creative Time office, and to cover programs and events as scheduled.
 
Reporting to the Communications Manager and the Head of External Affairs, the Video Fellow will also work closely with the Deputy Director, Programming Team, Graphic Designer, and Project Artist(s). The Fellow will visually document various aspects of our projects and produce innovative content, including short-form promotional and documentary videos. Gain behind-the-scenes access to an arts organization, collaborate with our curators and artists, experience the installation process, attend opening events, interview audience members, and capture it all! The Fellow will be part of the creative process, working with project curators and the marketing team to determine the best opportunities for audio and video content for each project.
 
The ideal candidate has creative vision, a knack for narrative, knowledge of and interest in the art world, prior experience in film production and post-production, a technical background, and wants experience working with artists and teams in a creative, innovative environment. Competitive selection will be made based on a strong voice in videography, skill in editing, a clear perspective on the arts, motivation for working at Creative Time, and the ability to contribute to the organization.
