Job Description:

Do you know about all of the coolest arts and music events before your friends do? Are you looking to get published with a byline on a cultural outlet? Do you go to galleries and music showcases more than anyone you know? Can you write with energy, conviction, and a sense of humor? Love the ‘gram and a good tweet storm?
