Sometimes a non-profit organization’s name tells you exactly what they do, or example The Association for Energy Affordability or The National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship. Other organizations have names that aren’t quite as straightforward, like today’s non-profit Artist Boat. Quick! Try and guess what they do. Bet you didn’t guess that they are an organization that is “dedicated to promoting awareness and preservation of coastal margins and the marine environment through the disciplines of the sciences and the arts.”
Artist Boat encourages collaboration between marine scientists and artists. By doing so, they can:
1) Promote the preservation of fragile ecosystems through environmental education and the arts
2) Utilize the traditional tools of the sciences and the arts in coastal margins and the marine environment to bring people to places of awareness and reflection while visiting these habitats
3) Reflect the immense beauty, wonder and diversity of life contained in coastal margins and the marine environment back to their communities.
If you take a look at Artist Boat’s website, you’ll start to understand what they do a little better. Many of the photos on the site are of artists painting or drawing in kayaks. They’re painting/drawing scenes that you can’t just drive up to. Artist Boat has programs for youths and adults and they also offer an Eco-Art Curriculum. What a unique idea for a non-profit!
Artist Boat is currently hiring for 3 positions: Eco Art Arts/Science Educator, Eco-Art Arts Educator/Interpreter, and Administrative and Marketing Coordinator. The Educator positions are certainly appropriate for new college grads, but the Coordinator position is described as requiring a few years of experience. We think that an exceptional entry-level candidate might be able to do the job, so it’s worth looking at. The links we provided to the jobs go to Idealist, but you can also look at Artist Boat’s Employment page. Artist Boat is located in Galveston, TX, and you can apply by sending your cover letter and resume to kklay@artistboat.org.
