The art department employs over 30 student workers, all of whom help make our department a vibrant, fun, and safe place for students to learn and make art!
Joining the department as a student worker is a great way for art majors and non-majors to enhance their subject matter knowledge, deepen their connection to the St. Olaf art community, and spend time in the studio.
Please read all of the following information before applying:
Eligibility
- Art department student work positions are open to both majors and non-majors.
- Some student work positions require prior classroom experience. In order to apply for a student work position in Ceramics, Photo, or the Sculpture Shop, students must have taken (or be currently enrolled in) a course in that respective area at St. Olaf. (i.e. Prospective Photo Lab Workers must have taken or be currently enrolled in Intro to Photography at St. Olaf before applying.)
- There are few opportunities for art department student workers to work more than 10 hours per week. Students who want to maximize their student work award have sometimes chosen to get a second student work job on campus. Most art department student workers work 3-8 hours per week for the department.
- Each position includes additional training and mentorship by the Studio Technician and faculty members in each media area.
