Target Art Buyer for a Summer Job

I was approached by a few of the managers of the Target inHouse agency’s art buying department to help lead the 2012 Lawn & Patio project from withing Target as an Art Buyer. It’s a yearly adventure that takes place in MN backyards and parks from June-Sept by 5 local photographers. Traditionally, I would work closely with a photographer to make the shoot a success. Now I’ll be working more closely with the client side making sure THEIR needs are met. This interface would give me a lot of new experiences while tying into several past shoots where I have been the Producer for Lawn & Patio. My partner in crime: Natasha Nikolai, and I couldn’t ask for a better pairing! I’ll be working 80% in downtown at HQ, and 20% out on shoots as needed. Sounds exciting!
