*Dolphin Press & Print internships are available only to MICA students currently enrolled in classes.

If a Dolphin Press internship interests you, but you are saving your application for the spring semester, you can apply now for a spring internship. The deadline for early spring applications is next Friday, the 25th of September at 5:00pm. You will still be able to apply for a spring internship at the beginning of next semester, but be aware that positions may already be filled by that time.

If you missed the deadline for fall applications you can still apply, because we will be accepting applications for fall internships along with early spring applications. Same deadline applies. This is the last call. Download the application here, and indicate which semester you are applying for in your email.

Dolphin Press & Print is a unique collaborative print studio that is designed to bring visual artists and writers together to work with students, producing limited-edition letterpressed books, broadsides and editioned prints in a variety of print media.

For those of you in NYC this weekend, or this month, there are two excellent exhibitions worth checking out.

Firstly, the Jon Rappleye prints that were in production all fall and spring, until this past weekend, are premiering in Jon’s current show at the Jeff Bailey Gallery this week.  The opening was last night, but the show is up for a month.

More production shots at the Dolphin Press website.

Additionally, our very own May Yang had a print selected for the IPCNY New Prints 2009 exhibition (curated by Polly Apfelbaum!) which also opened this weekend.

More of May’s work is available on her website, and the list of other artists in the exhibition (albeit clumsily) are here!

Congratulations to both!
