Calling all college students + recent graduates. If you’re interested in pursuing a career in arts and culture, ArtsBuild’s Opportunity Fellows program is now open for applications.

The program is a 10-week paid work experience that pairs you with a local arts organization from February through April. Think: Working with folks from River City Co., HART Gallery, Chattanooga Tourism Co., and the City of Chattanooga’s Office of Arts, Culture, and Creative Economy.

During the program, fellows will also be trained in professional development, networking, and community engagement experiences + will develop a summary report of their experiences.

Interested in applying? Submit your application online by Thursday, Jan. 16 at 5 p.m. — early applications are encouraged. Pro tip: You can scroll through each organization’s work plan for fellows to see which opportunity is right for you.
