At the internship at Franklin Furnace (FF), I’ve learned that a non-profit business has a lot of aspects to it. A main aspect is how it is funded. Non-profit could be funded if they create their own fund like my internship does called the Franklin Furnace Fund. They also have grants as discussed in my previous blog. These grants ensure they make money off of interns without having to paying us. Another factor is how they are able to draw in all these artists to preform and even get to sell their work for museums/exhibits. FF has a fellowship program that can get you in as an artist once your application is approved. The artist at my job are next level definition of a UNIQUE artist. Interns are in charge of ensuring our archives are in order, named properly and in the data base, vimeo, excel or in the office. Artist will physical art work gets their work packaged into a box and labeled for storage. Performing arts are recorded for the footage to be uploaded on vimeo.

In terms of being an assistant art teacher the other day I am there in the week, I must write journal entries explaining what we have done week by week and how it can be improved. I also make worksheets for the students, print, and make copies of their work. The original pieces of work stay at FF in our archive for their SeqArtKids program.
