Oregon Arts Commission Seeks Arts Educator and Grant Coordinator

Business Oregon, the agency that houses the Oregon Arts Commission, is currently hiring an Arts Education & Grants Coordinator (Program Analyst 3). Applications are due by August 8, 2022.

This position will manage grant programs and services including Arts Learning, Operating Support, Small Operating, Arts Build Communities, as well as Arts Access Reimbursement. The Coordinator develops policy recommendations and revisions to processes for new and existing program design and implementation.

The Oregon Arts Commission provides leadership, funding and arts programs through its grants, special initiatives, and services. Nine commissioners, appointed by the Governor, determine arts needs and establish policies for public support of the arts. The Arts Commission became part of the Oregon Business Development Department (Business Oregon) in 1993, in recognition of the expanding role the arts play in the broader social, economic, and educational arenas of Oregon communities. In 2003, the Oregon legislature moved the operations of the Oregon Cultural Trust to the Arts Commission, streamlining operations and making use of the Commission’s expertise in grantmaking, arts and cultural information and community cultural development.
