Internship: Marketing & Growth at Gesso (Arts Studio Management Platform)

Gesso (gesso.work) is seeking a marketing & growth intern passionate about the arts to help reach more artists. This is a hands-on, ownership-heavy role — you’ll work directly with the founder and have real impact on how Gesso grows.

Gesso is an all-in-one studio management platform built specifically for working artists — by a working artist. Portfolio, inventory, sales, CV, invoices, collector CRM, and email list tools all in one place. The goal is to streamline artists’ admin so they can spend less time in their books and more time in the studio.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Help grow our Instagram presence (content drafting, scheduling, community engagement)
  • Research and conduct outreach to artist organizations, residencies, and co-ops
  • Draft blog and SEO content for working artists
  • Help onboard artists and partners onto the platform
  • Help develop and maintain our email newsletter
  • Identify partnership and press opportunities

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Have a genuine interest in the arts or arts administration
  • Are self-directed and comfortable in a small startup environment
  • Have experience with Instagram, email marketing, or content writing — or are eager to learn

DETAILS

Part-time (~8–10 hrs/week) | Fully remote | Academic credit supported | Stipend negotiable
