Help us grow a culture for art at Duke and gain professional experience and behind-the-scenes access to the Rubenstein Arts Center with the Creative Arts Student Teams.
This work opportunity serves the Ruby and arts initiatives across campus in way that empowers individual CASTs to “own” their projects, provides meaningful professional development opportunities in arts administration, and fosters a sense of community among the CAST class.
All CASTs will serve on an informal student steering committee for the Ruby and the Duke Arts initiative. In addition to the roles below, CASTs may be called on to support special arts center programs, or participate in other opportunities to build awareness about the arts at Duke.
CAST members commit between 20 and 30 hours a semester, and schedules will vary between positions. In exchange for a semester-long commitment, CAST members are hired by the Office of the Vice Provost for the Arts (Duke Arts) and paid hourly ($10.00/hour). Commitment to both fall and spring semesters is preferred, if possible. Participation in CASTs may meet the internship requirements for the Museum Theory and Practice Concentration in AAHVS as well as Experiential Learning requirements in the I&E Certificate.
There’s a lot going on at the building now known simply as the ‘Ruby,’ a 70,000-square-foot, two-floor facility that opened in January 2018. And it’s not just for art students. The Ruby is building its identity in part through the people who use it the most. The regulars. Here, we invite you to meet them.
