Opportunity Fellows (Seasonal Employment in the Arts)
The ArtsBuild Opportunity Fellows program places college students and recent college graduates in part-time work opportunities that provide valuable, paid intern experience in Chattanooga’s arts and cultural organizations.
Compensation and Hours:
Fellows will receive a $17.50 per hour for a maximum of 35 hours per week from ArtsBuild for the duration of the 10 Week program.
