The four youth employees will assist the UCIMC in working on the beautification of our interior and exterior space. The two visual artists will work on a variety of art projects, such as hanging archival art pieces and creating original outdoor mini murals. The two documentarians will work on capturing moments, archiving memories, and conducting interviews. All employees will work together with IMC staff in planning and designing our downstairs hangout lounge and costume library. All employees will also gain experience with community outreach and will understand the behind-the-scenes work of running an arts non-profit.

These positions are funded by the Illinois Arts Council.
