Development & Administrative Coordinator

SCA Mission:
The SCA nurtures the art, the artist, and our audiences. We foster curiosity and connection through engaging, accessible programming and shared creative experiences. Position Overview

If you love details and the buzz of a creative space, this part-time role is for you. The Development + Administrative Coordinator is the behind-the-scenes powerhouse who keeps our fundraising processes and events running smoothly and our office team humming along.
