SCAC posts two coordinator-level positions

Serve #SCArtists and arts orgs

The South Carolina Arts Commission just opened two coordinator-level positions where you could serve #SCArtists or arts organizations in the state.

With heavy demand for SCAC programs and grants comes increased demand on our team, so the agency is hiring to meet those needs. Consistent constituent service is a priority for the SCAC, and these will make it more responsive and a more robust resource for those seeking assistance.

Because of the SCAC’s recent expansion to include offices in Richland, Charleston, Florence, and Greenville counties, successful candidates for these positions can reside near and work from any one of these locations.
