Social Media Marketing Intern

About ARTPEEK

ARTPEEK is a Chicago-born art startup built for emerging artists. Our first project, Peekbox, puts small display boxes in independent shops around Chicago. Each one shows an original 6×6 artwork that passersby can peek into and buy. Peekbox launches this winter. Next, we're building an online platform where audiences vote for emerging artists, with pop-up exhibitions to follow in more cities. Follow us at @artpeek_official.
