Community Arts Worker Courses

Community Arts Workers develop and implement arts programs and activities which can include photography, painting, sculpture, dance, music, drama, creative writing, and textile arts. They promote the value of arts and creative development in the community, and may work with targeted minority groups (eg, seniors, disabled persons, women, children, migrants) or in specific regions or rural zones.

As a Community Arts Worker you could be applying for government funding for an arts program for disabled children, collaborating with a group of writers to deliver a creative writing program, meeting with a community group to assess their interest in a cultural dance program, or developing marketing content to promote an upcoming arts program in a rural area.
