About The Role

About the Position Arts Midwest believes that creativity is one of the Midwest’s greatest strengths, and we’re passionate about sharing it with the world. We’re looking for a dynamic Social Media and Marketing Manager to shape how our storytelling, short-form videos, opportunities, and resources show up across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, email, and whatever comes next. As part of our Content & Communications team, you’ll manage Arts Midwest’s daily digital presence—distributing original articles and videos, creating social-native content that champions the creative Midwest, and helping our content reach new audiences.
