Job Description
Unlisted Projects is looking for a Program Coordinator. This position is grant funded for one year with the intention of securing additional ongoing funding.
We are seeking a dedicated and organized Artist Residency Program Coordinator to manage all aspects of our artist residency program. This part-time position will be responsible for the administrative operations, coordination of residency activities, oversight of open calls, and development, including grant administration, writing and reporting.
We highly encourage Black, Indigenous, Latine and POC applicants and those with diverse gender and sexual identities, including those who may come from non-traditional employment backgrounds. We welcome any questions about requirements for this position from potential applicants before or during the application process.
About Unlisted Projects
Operating since 2014, Unlisted Projects (UP) is an artist residency and cultural exchange program that hosts international and local artists at The Museum of Human Achievement (MoHA) in Austin, TX.
Resident artists live and work alongside a thriving community at MoHA of 35 in-house creatives and 20 members of local community organizations. UP provides artists with studio space, living accommodations, professional support, and an unrestricted stipend. The UP program typically hosts 10 artists annually.
Additionally, UP supports artists with access to materials, equipment, workspace, and funds for networking, travel, professional development, and creative work. These resources mitigate the inequitable conditions that sustain the economic and social barriers that, without UP, would have prevented international artists from contributing to the Central Texas arts ecosystem.
Each resident collaborates with the local community on a public workshop or open studio, a community project, and a final event.
