IF THE GALLERY YOU WORKED AT HAS NOT HAD AN EXHIBITION REVIEWED IN ART FORUM, FRIEZE, ART IN AMERICA, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES OR THE LIKE WITHIN THE LAST SIX MONTHS, THEN YOU HAVE NOT HAD RELEVANT GALLERY EXPERIENCE. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHETHER THE GALLERY YOU WORKED AT QUALIFIES YOU FOR THIS JOB, THEN YOU VERY LIKELY WOULD NOT BE THE RIGHT CANDIDATE.

COMPENSATION:
Hourly pay of $12.00 per hour for first three months. Based on performance, there will be advancement possibilities, periodic pay increases and built-in incentives. Qualified applicants should not focus entirely on the posted starting pay rate. When Craigslist allowed internship postings, this posting could also be used to seek a highly motivated intern that does not have the necessary experience, but does have a great attitude and possesses some of the other required skills. However, to comply with their rules, we are seeking someone for the paid position who has real work experience at one of the 75 or so relevant contemporary art galleries in Los Angeles.
