Opportunity Fellows Application Deadline

The ArtsBuild Opportunity Fellows program places college students and recent college graduates in part-time work opportunities that provide valuable, paid intern experience in Chattanooga’s arts and cultural organizations. ArtsBuild is seeking innovators and forward thinkers who share ArtsBuild’s mission of building stronger communities through the arts and possess strong communication skills, a willingness to learn, and a desire to work with others in a collaborative setting.

Applications are now open for the Spring with employment opportunities at ArtsBuild, Be the Change Youth Initiative, Chatt Foundation, and Reflection Riding. The fellowship period is Monday, April 13th - Friday, May 22nd.  Fellows will receive $17.50 per hour for a maximum of 35 hours per week from ArtsBuild for the duration of the 10-week program.

Deadline to Apply: March 24, 2026 at 11:59 pm. Click here to apply through Google Forms!

Select organizations in the arts and culture sector agree to provide the intern they select a progressive educational experience, through direct personal contact hours or through a training program, and to aid the intern in developing a summary report of his/her/their experience. Please note that this is an in-person work opportunity for a college student or recent college graduate. ArtsBuild no longer offers remote opportunities.

For more information, contact Brianna Jones at brianna@artsbuild.com.

The ArtsBuild Opportunity Fellows program is made possible by generous support from Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development; the City of Chattanooga's Office of Arts, Culture and Creative Economy; and the Nancy Lackey Community Education Fund.
