Content, Communications, and Production Manager
A Blade of Grass believes in the power of socially engaged art and artists to participate meaningfully in creating a more equitable and compassionate future. We create web and print media, documentary films, research, and inclusive events about socially engaged art; advocate for artists working in everyday life; and provide direct financial support to artists working to enact social change.
A key goal of our work is to create and sustain audiences for socially engaged art, so the impact of this work spreads beyond direct participants. To support this goal, we are seeking a Content, Communications, and Production Manager who wants to make socially engaged art visible by actively shaping our web and print content, social media platforms, and public programs.
This is a full-time position with health benefits and a 401(k). Salary range $50-65K. To apply, please send a cover letter and CV to info@abladeofgrass.org.
