Intern Opportunities  (Currently Unavailable)

We need your help! Knot too shabby is hiring new volunteer interns and we need someone with just the right mix of experience, personality and potential. Maybe it’s you, or maybe you know someone who is the perfect fit. Here’s the scoop:

The internship we offer is a packed position. Having undergone internships in the past where I was nothing more than a glorified chair warmer and paper pusher, we have really worked hard to develop an internship that is filled with learning opportunities that dive both into the creative world of painting but also nurture the business side of learning. Some days are more heavily focused in the retail aspect and others will be occupied with paint projects. Much of it depends on the inventory and customer needs. We also have our interns help execute our marketing plans!
