Who We Are (About the Organization):
The Fine Arts Work Center (FAWC) is an artist-led organization based in Provincetown and connected to the world. We support artistic freedom, nurture creative connections, and make possible artistic achievements important to the larger culture.
In 2024, the Fine Arts Work Center was named one of the top three artist-founded and artist-led residencies in the world by Artnet. Since its creation nearly 60 years ago, our signature Fellowship has become one of the world’s leading residency programs. Each year, the Work Center offers 20 seven-month residencies to a juried group of emerging visual artists, fiction writers, and poets. During this time, Fellows have the opportunity to pursue their work independently in a diverse and supportive community of peers. The Fine Arts Work Center also presents an open enrollment Summer Workshop Program that serves hundreds of students and faculty in Provincetown each summer; an online programming initiative recently rebranded as FAWC Online that promotes creative practice; and an extensive series of year-round cultural events, exhibitions, and artist residencies.
What We Are Seeking (Purpose of Position)
The Education Program Manager is dedicated to ensuring that all participants feel welcome and included, and that every one of them has an exceptional experience.

Each summer, FAWC offers 60-65 week-long, open-enrollment workshops in creative writing and visual arts, taught by award-winning faculty. We welcome over 500 Summer Workshop Program students. Our writing workshops include classes in poetry, fiction, memoir, nonfiction, playwriting, and more. Our visual arts workshops include classes in painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, watercolor, photography, and more.
