Founded in 1990 to promote a unique brand of Spectacle performance committed to civic well-being, Redmoon creates unique theatrical experiences that galvanize community and celebrates the human imagination. With a style that is equal parts puppetry, pageantry, gadgetry, robust physical performance, and visual art installation, Redmoon’s core competency is its ability to provide an array of cultural events that meet the highest formal artistic standards and the city’s civic interests. Redmoon's highly visual artistic language speaks across social, economic, and generational boundaries, attracting a dynamic audience who enjoys the broad appeal of Redmoon's events, from its high profile collaborations and outdoor Spectacle performances, to its private commission-based events and community-focused Neighborhood Arts Programming. Evaluation of the past year has shown that Redmoon’s audience has expanded to include a strong family presence while reaching an annual audience attendance in 2010 of approximately 27,000 people from across Chicago. Redmoon’s intensive Emerging Artist Internship program provides training in spectacle art techniques. Emerging artists of all backgrounds experience an in-depth exploration of Redmoon’s art-making practices from design and construction to workshop and performance. Interns support the construction of original art objects and installation materials used in Redmoon events, while developing enduring skills and learning a philosophy of collaborative creativity.

This internship will focus on prop and set construction for The Tempest, a collaboration between Redmoon and Chicago Shakespeare Theater that opens January 2012. Skills required: competence with power tools and saws, basic carpentry skills, some woodcarving. This is an unpaid opportunity

Some move on to growing roles elsewhere or into other disciplines within our industry.​ But the process has worked exceptionally well for our firm, and for our staff.​

Full-time independent contractor status while we evaluate performance and proficiency through an approximate 90-day period.​ Qualified artists would then be offered, and can transition to, regular full time employee status.​ (In 2010, two entry level recent grads joined us for this full time independent contractor production artist role, then transitioned to full time employee positions, and continue to work here.​.​.​in 2011 two more entry level recent grads joined us in this same capacity.​)

Monday-Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM hours, with 1 hour lunch (When workflow allows! This is the creative services industry, after all).​ Compensation is based on a 40 hour work week.​ Any additional hours incurred (and overtime will definitely arise) are compensated at normal hourly rate.​ Payroll issued weekly, for that same work week.​ Full-time entry level production artists are currently paid $600.​00 per week ($15.​00 per hour for 40 hour work week).​

Transition to full time employee status typically includes an initial salary increase.​ Full-time employees receive annual salary (weekly payroll), performance/​salary reviews at 6 month intervals for the first 2 years, paid vacation, paid holidays, paid sick day allotment, and eligibility to participate in health insurance reimbursement coverage (75%​ employer payment/​25%​ employee).​

Interested applicants should send their resume direct to dig@​designimagegroup.​com (no “attention to” is required and please do not contact us to request a specific name -- don't worry, we'll intercept your resume).​ You're strongly encouraged to provide a link or access-info to your online portfolio, if one is available, but PLEASE DO NOT ATTACH SAMPLES OF YOUR WORK.​  Also, PLEASE do not call, stop by in person to drop of a resume, or ground mail a resume -- you may think think this will give you an edge, but actually, it will likely disqualify you from fair consideration.​ We will select suitable applicants for in-person interviews, at which time you'll be expected to bring a portfolio (hard copy, please, not laptop).​

We look forward to hearing from eager, accomplished entry level designers and graphic artists -- the visual communications professionals of tomorrow -- who are ready to train on and master the tools of our profession.​ Learning the intricacies of Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign, and their applications to real-world packaging, display and print projects, can really only occur 'on the job', not in school.​ For the right applicants, this will be the place and the job to do precisely that!
