The Vera Project seeks Graphic Designer

The Vera Project is turning 20!!! Seattle’s favorite all-ages music venue and nonprofit arts space will be celebrating our 20th anniversary all 2021 long with a series of livestreams and in-person special events. In order to make next year a huge success and fundraise for some big new programs, we’re looking for creative, skilled, and fast-acting graphic designers that can create artwork to help us share our story.

***

The Vera Project (VERA) is an all-ages nonprofit space dedicated to fostering personal and community transformation through collaborative, youth-driven engagement in music and art. A music venue, screen print shop, recording studio, art gallery, educational institution, and safe space for radical self- expression, VERA is a home to Seattle’s creative community.
