Job Description

The Brushfire Literature & Arts Journal is a student-run organization at UNR that publishes two journals per year (one per semester). All art reviewed and published by Brushfire is submitted through our website.

With every new edition of the Brushfire, we strive to represent the diversity, originality, and dedication of our artistic community. As an ASUN organization, we also strive to be the creative literary and visual work outlet for our student body at UNR. Our main priority is to connect with the various art communities at UNR and throughout Reno. However, anyone can submit to Brushfire. We receive and publish art from across the country.

In order to achieve our goals, staff and volunteers also collaborate with other campus clubs and organizations, to promote Brushfire’s name and purpose, and to establish good relations with peer art organizations.

Collaboration is in Brushfire’s nature. Much of the work done will be with the help of co-workers and volunteers. What is most important is the drive to work in a team and work for the goals of this organization.

The Visual Arts Editor handles all concerns with visual art submissions, including but not limited to: reviewing submissions, communicating with submitters and contacting and establishing a visual arts judging panel—which should consist of professionals in an arts field (e.g. professors, working artists in the community). The Visual Arts Editor will assist the Editor-in-Chief in designing the layout of the Brushfire journal each semester, thus the Visual Arts Editor should have experience with Adobe software, especially InDesign and Photoshop. Moreover, the Visual Arts Director will help in organizing, planning, and hosting Brushfire events alongside other staff members.

All staff members are required to attend weekly meetings in which progress updates, announcements and challenges will be discussed.
