City of New York Art Commission - Project Coordinator

I work for the Art Commission of the City of New York, NYC's design review agency, and a division of the NYC Mayor's Office. The name "Art" Commission is actually misleading, as the majority of projects the Commission reviews are works of architecture and landscape architecture.

The Project Coordinator position would require interest in and/or experience with architecture, landscape architecture and public art. A familiarity with architectural drawings would be quite helpful. This would be a good job for a recent grad interested in urban design or urban planning, specifically in New York.

If this sounds interesting to you or someone you know, email Marienna Murch at slev@cityhall.nyc.gov for a full job description.
