Overview

The Artistic Coordinator for the Sun-Walking Fellowship at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary is a vital part-time role dedicated to fostering the integration of art as a form of ministry with young people.

Responsibilities

The Artistic Coordinator serves as primary point of connection for the artists with whom we work:

• Finding artists to work with the grant,

• Coordinate and communicate with other offices, supervisors, committees, and other seminary personal responsible for events, including assisting Project Director and Administrative Coordinator with pre-event planning, calendaring, budgeting, and logistics.
• Work closely with Project Director and Administrative Coordinator and the Communications Office regarding marketing, printed materials, and the Sun-Walking Fellowship website.
• Be on-site for events, which will include evenings and weekends.

Qualifications

• An understanding of the practice of art, obtained either as an artist or from working with artists.
• Bachelor’s degree; Master’s degree and/or some form of theological education preferred
