My girlfriend is unemployed in West Pennsylvania and is having trouble getting a minimum wage job in the area. She has her GED and a resume which contains a lot of art projects she's worked on. Are these irrelevant credits a turn off for employers? Is there anything else she can do? I'm more than happy to share the document.

What skills does she have and what sort of position is she looking for? The answer would depend a lot on what she's looking to do.

Has she worked on any "money" projects (as opposed to "art")? Employers, as a rule, don't care about art. They do care if you have a demonstrated track record of delivering stuff they can sell. Art and money need not be mutually exclusive, if she worked on art projects that were commercially successful, she might want to put the tangible, commercial success front and center, preferably with concrete numbers that can be attributed to her.
