Art Authority Summer Intern Program, year 3

By Art Authority April 16, 2013 ,

 

Today we announced year 3 of our very successful summer intern program. As we discussed last year in this blog, the Art Authority Summer Intern Program offers art and art history majors a 21st century alternative to traditional art docent internships. By working on our cutting-edge app and database, technology-focused students gain experience with and exposure to a set of tools they’ll need as “art goes digital.”

We here at Art Authority have learned a lot over the past two years, both as far as how to run the intern program and as far as what’s needed to keep the app line on top. And it’s been working, as exemplified in Apple’s current Celebrate the Arts campaign.

Students have learned a lot too, gained credit towards their major, and even found jobs as a result of the program (one of them works here!). And of course it’s not just the Art Authority app now, but also Art Authority K-12Art Alert and community.artauthority.net. Even an iBook. So we’re really looking forward to another great and meaningful summer for all concerned.

If you or anyone you know is curious about the program, please check out the Summer Intern Program Web site for more information and an application form. The number of spaces are limited, so anyone interested should apply as soon as possible.

We celebrate Apple celebrating the arts

By Art Authority April 15, 2013

 

The home pages of the various App Stores (iTunes on Mac/PC, iPad, iPhone) currently have a big rotating banner proclaiming Celebrate the Arts with a subhead of “Fine Art, Music & Literature”. If you click/tap on this banner, you are presented front and center (literally in some cases) with our Art Authority app, among others.

Apple’s campaign, and their highlighting of Art Authority is cool for lots of different reasons. Perhaps the main one is some of the other apps we’re included with (and in many cases ahead of): official apps from likes of the Louvre, MoMA and the Tate, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. And a cool looking new art-event-each-day app from the Kennedy Center called Arts Days.

Not to mention Jimi Hendrix, Sting and even Rolling Stone’s “The Beatles”! We’re there with the rock stars! Definitely worth celebrating.
