🏢 About Crafting the Future

Crafting the Future is dedicated to equity in the arts, focusing on amplifying underrepresented voices through creative programs. Their remote, part-time structure offers flexibility while making a tangible impact on diversity in the arts sector. Working here means contributing to meaningful change in a field that often lacks representation.

About This Role

This Programs Coordinator role is central to executing CTF’s mission, handling logistics from recruitment to evaluation. You’ll ensure smooth program operations, manage communications, and maintain data—directly enabling artists from marginalized communities to thrive. Your work will bridge program vision with practical execution, making each initiative successful.

💡 A Day in the Life

Start your day by checking Asana for task updates and responding to emails from program participants. Mid-morning, you might draft a newsletter highlighting a recent artist’s success, then update program data in Google Sheets. Afternoon tasks include coordinating with a partner organization for an upcoming workshop and scheduling social media posts via Canva.
