About Black Artist Forward
Black Artist Forward is a nonprofit rooted in one mission: making sure Black artists don’t just create… they thrive. We connect artists to opportunities, resources, and community support that move their work forward in real, tangible ways.

The Role
We’re looking for a curious, organized, and resourceful intern who enjoys finding information, connecting dots, and helping creative ecosystems run smoothly behind the scenes.

This isn’t busywork. This is the engine room.

You’ll help us maintain the systems that artists rely on, from job boards and grant listings to outreach and marketing support, while learning how a growing arts nonprofit actually operates day-to-day.

Support fundraising and donor tracking efforts (Givebutter)

Collaborate with the team using Asana (we’ll train you)

Assist with event setup/breakdown and on-site support (if local)

Help document meetings, organize notes, and keep projects moving

Bring ideas to the table (we value fresh perspective here!)
