Do You Heart Art?

Do you love Lawndale? Is life meaningless without the magnificent Menil? Do you think the MFA is Muy Freaking Awesome? Does alliteration never get old to you?

Then we want you. Yes, you. Is that so hard to believe?

Houston is a big city. And we bust our -ists everyday to cover a fraction of it. That's where you come in.

Arts contributors should, first and foremost, have a passion for (and basic knowledge of) Houston's arts scene. You should be able to post at least a couple of times a week; writing skills are a must and good time management helps a lot, too. Your coverage of local arts will help Houstonist's readers keep up with what's going on in the city, and it'll help get you the recognition you deserve for your arts savvy and dangerously clever wordplay. Oh, and your mom will be so proud. Well, ours are at least.

Think you're up to the task? Drop us an e-mail at write (at) houstonist (dot) com and include your name and a bit about yourself and your specific interests. Also send us a sample post — about 250 words on whatever arts-related topic you're interested in, so we can get a feel for your style.

We'll be accepting applications until the end of the day Friday, September 14, so contact us soon if you would like to be a part of Houstonist (or if you have any questions about the gig). We're waiting ... and we're highly impatient.
