What: Research Internship
When: Rolling
Where: SubART is a program of SPUR, 654 Mission Street, San Francisco 94105

Seeking:
• A graduate interdisciplinary student with some knowledge, interest and/exposure to public art, land 
use, and urban design
• Strong research and writing skills

Requirements:
January through May 2013 (10 to 15 hours a week)
June through August 2013 (20+ hours a week)
SubART Interns are expected to devote 10 ‐ 15 hours per week to their semester‐
long internship and a minimum of 20 hours to a summer internship. Position is unpaid. Students and 
recent graduates are welcome to apply.

Note: Work can be in the San Francisco office and/or from your home office

Organization Overview
Founded in 2011 in San Francisco, SubART is a creative place‐making initiative that is reinventing the Bay 
Area’s mass transit experience. SubART’s mission is to transform MUNI Metro and BART underground 
stations into dynamic public art galleries that celebrate and enrich our cultural life, revitalize 
neighborhoods from the bottom up, and enhance the public’s mass transit experience. 
SubART is building on investments already being made by the City of San Francisco, BART, and MUNI in 
public infrastructures, places, livability, and transit systems. A fiscally sponsored project of San Francisco 
Planning and Urban Research (SPUR), SubART is a dynamic start‐up organization that operates as a 
catalyst, coordinating a broad foundation of public, private, and institutional support for the integration 
of the arts into the most publicly utilized spaces in the City: the existing underground corridors of our 
mass transit system. 
SubART is proposing to develop a system‐wide framework that will help guide the community process 
and art in each of the 49 BART and MUNI metro stations in the Bay Area.  While BART and MUNI are the 
physical connectors in the Bay Area, SubArt seeks to develop the cultural and historical connectors, the 
story that connects the entire region.  Once the larger vision is developed, a process can be outlined in 
which each community can develop their story, which will be portrayed in the development and 
curation of art at individual station.

Position Overview
This position works directly with the Executive Director and senior leadership team across functional 
areas including: local and international research, as well as the development of an MFA student 
engagement program.   It also offers a unique opportunity to influence the development of a major 
Bay Area land use and artistic endeavor because it comes at the beginning of an 18‐month planning 
and public involvement period which will culminate in the art event, “Envisioning Transit,” 
comprised of a series of public art exhibitions, lectures, focus groups, and community workshops 
designed to engage and excite the public in an arts‐in‐transit strategy for the Bay Area.

The daily functional tasks include:
• Researching best practices in which art is placed in public metro stations throughout the 
world.
• Supporting the development of a MFA student engagement program whose work will be 
integral to the “Envisioning Transit” launch
• Research Bay Area cultural and historical data that will heavily influence and build on the 
work that will be done in subsequent workshops and focus groups to determine the larger 
vision for the Bay Area system, and
• Participation in the  development of a comprehensive guiding framework for the Bay Area’s 
49 BART and MUNI metro stations, and a publicly based curation process and best practices 
guidelines to be replicated system‐wide
The research intern will have the option to work out of SPUR’s offices in downtown San Francisco
