    • Nature-based or material-focused practices

    • Creative wellness or reflective art practices

    • Art for community engagement or social impact

    The Ideal Candidate

    • Can teach 2–4 different workshops or class formats

    • Has prior teaching, facilitation, or workshop experience, and is comfortable leading groups independently

    • Has experience working with adults and/or intergenerational groups across skill levels — including beginners, non-artists, and more experienced students

    • Creates a welcoming, engaging, and supportive environment

    We’re looking for teaching artists who have consistent availability during these times.

    Timing & Commitment

    This role is for the Fall 2026 season (September–December), with the potential to continue into the spring and summer based on mutual fit and programming needs.

    We’re especially interested in building ongoing relationships with teaching artists who are excited to grow with the studio over time.

  • Arts Programming & Development Intern

    Spring 2027 | That Creative Space | Beacon, NY

    That Creative Space is seeking a college or graduate student for a Spring 2027 Arts Programming & Development Internship.

    This internship is designed for someone interested in taking what they're learning in the classroom and applying it to the real-world needs of a growing community arts organization. You'll have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in arts programming, community research, fundraising and development, grant research and writing, event planning, and nonprofit administration.

    That Creative Space recently celebrated its first year in Beacon, NY. The studio offers workshops, classes, events, exhibitions, shared studio space, and other opportunities for artists, makers, and the forever curious.

    As a primarily solo-operated organization, many aspects of That Creative Space—from developing programs and working with teaching artists to marketing, partnerships, fundraising, events, and day-to-day operations—are currently managed by the founder. This gives an intern the opportunity to work closely with the person running the organization, see how the different pieces fit together, and make meaningful contributions to projects as That Creative Space enters its second year.

    We're not expecting you to come in knowing how to do all of these things. We're looking for someone who's curious, motivated, eager to learn, and excited to put their ideas and education into practice.

    What You'll Work On

    One of the benefits of interning with a primarily solo-operated arts organization is that you'll get exposure to many different aspects of how programs and initiatives are developed.

    Depending on current projects, your interests, and what you'd like to learn, you may assist with:

    Arts Programming & Community Research

    • Research local arts and creative programming, community needs, and opportunities for new programs.

    • Explore after-school arts programming currently available through local schools and community organizations to help us better understand where there may be gaps or opportunities.

    • Assist with outreach to schools and community organizations to learn more about their needs and explore potential partnerships.

    • Research potential audiences, instructors, partners, program formats, and comparable programs.

    • Help brainstorm and develop ideas for new classes, community programs, and special events.

    Special Programs & Event Planning

    • Help develop the next iteration of That Creative Space's Creative Retreat and smaller themed creative weekends.

    • Assist with the development and planning of special events, which may include a fundraising event.

    • Research themes, artists and instructors, activities, potential partners, vendors, and similar programs or events.

    • Help with event timelines, budgets, logistics, outreach, registration, and the overall participant or guest experience.

    • Depending on timing, have the opportunity to see a program or event move from an early idea into implementation.

    Fundraising, Grants & Development

    • Learn how a community arts organization identifies potential sources of funding.

    • Research grants, foundations, sponsorships, and other opportunities that align with our arts and community programming.

    • Help maintain a calendar or database of funding opportunities and deadlines.

    • Assist with research, writing, and gathering supporting information for grant applications.

    • Help develop and organize fundraising materials.

    • Assist with fundraising campaigns, donor communications, and potentially fundraising events.

    • Help us think about how we document program participation, outcomes, feedback, and impact for future fundraising and grant reporting.

    Arts & Nonprofit Administration

    • Gain exposure to fiscal sponsorship and the administrative work involved in developing funded arts programming.

    • Help organize materials and reporting related to That Creative Space's fiscal sponsorship through Fractured Atlas.

    • Research potential community partners, schools, nonprofits, arts organizations, and other collaborators.

    • Assist with program documentation, planning materials, and other organizational projects.

    • Help develop systems and resources that can support the continued growth of our programming.

    Who We're Looking For

    This internship is intended for current college or graduate students interested in gaining practical experience in the arts, nonprofit, community programming, or related fields.

    You might be studying arts administration, nonprofit management, arts education, community arts, event management, communications, public administration, fundraising/development, fine arts, or another related field. We're also open to students from other areas of study who can tell us why this work connects with their interests and goals.

    You do not need professional experience in arts administration, grant writing, fundraising, or program development. Relevant coursework, class projects, volunteer work, campus involvement, student organizations, or a previous internship can all be valuable preparation.

    We're especially interested in someone who:

    • Is excited to apply what they're learning in school to real projects.

    • Is curious and enjoys research, problem-solving, and exploring new ideas.

    • Is a strong writer and communicator or is interested in developing those skills.

    • Is organized and able to keep track of information, deadlines, and details.

    • Is willing to reach out to community organizations and professional contacts.

    • Is interested in how arts programming can serve and strengthen a community.

    • Is comfortable taking initiative while also asking questions and seeking guidance.

    • Enjoys collaborating and contributing ideas.

    • Is excited by the opportunity to work directly with the founder of a community arts organization and contribute during an important stage of its growth.

    Experience coordinating events—whether through school, clubs, volunteer organizations, previous internships, work, or community activities—is especially helpful, but not required.

    What You'll Gain

    This internship is meant to be a learning experience as much as a working experience.

    You'll have the opportunity to take concepts you've encountered in school and see how they apply when you're working with real programs, audiences, budgets, deadlines, partners, and community needs.

    Because That Creative Space is primarily run by a solo operator, you'll have a unique opportunity to see how the different parts of an arts organization connect rather than being limited to one department or function. You'll work directly with the founder and gain exposure to programming, development, community outreach, events, and arts administration while contributing ideas of your own.

    We'll also work together to identify projects that connect with your interests and educational goals. Ideally, you'll finish the semester with meaningful projects and experiences you can talk about in future interviews, graduate school applications, or your portfolio.

    Internship Timing

    This internship is intended for the Spring 2027 semester.

    The schedule can be coordinated around your academic schedule, with a combination of independent project work and time at That Creative Space in Beacon, NY. Some availability for occasional programs or events may be helpful depending on the projects underway.

    There may be an opportunity for the internship to continue into Summer 2027 based on performance, organizational needs, and mutual interest. A summer extension could provide an opportunity to take greater ownership of programs or events researched and developed during the spring and help bring them to life.

    How to Apply

    Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter introducing yourself, sharing why you're interested in interning with That Creative Space, and telling us about relevant coursework, projects, volunteer experience, previous internships, work experience, or skills you'd like to bring to the role.

    In your cover letter, we'd also like you to answer:

    Of the following areas, which are you most excited to work on at That Creative Space, and why?

    • Arts programming & program administration

    • Community research & outreach

    • Grant research & writing

    • Fundraising & development

    • Event planning & coordination

    You don't need to have previous experience in your chosen area. We're interested in learning what you're passionate about, why it matters to you, and how you think that passion could help further That Creative Space's mission.

    About That Creative Space
