Primary Function: The Program Coordinator is responsible for supporting the production, implementation, communication, and evaluation related to public programs, with special focus on administrative support and program planning. These programs feature different generations of national and international contemporary artists, who bring new perspectives to Alexander Calder’s work and connect them to ideas and experiences relevant to the present. 

Centering experimentation and cross-disciplinarity, programs also include practices related to wellness, the environment, and nature at-large. These programs aim to foster introspection and multiple types of audience engagement, while featuring racial, ethnic, gender, generational and accessibility diversity. 

Reporting to the Marsha Perelman Senior Director of Programs, this individual supports the implementation of all Calder Gardens public programs, as well as the production and planning of private events. The Program Coordinator is also vital for maintaining relationships with internal departments and stakeholders, and with our artistic and community partners locally, nationally and internationally.

Printmaking by the People is a citywide dialogue and public art project about how the Declaration of Independence has set the stage for life in our city and our nation today.

The project is revisiting and reimagining printing’s historic role in public communication and civic dialogue, particularly its roots in Philadelphia as a means of disseminating debates about the movement for independence.

The project will hone in on the Declaration’s promise of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” to the emerging nation. Today, we will ask people to explore where we have succeeded at that, what work remains to be done, and what their own passions and commitments are for the future — and express their ideas through posters that they design and print themselves.

We are inviting any community organization that would like to host a workshop to apply for consideration. Please respond by checking full description and application form.  Please note that our funding allows for  a limited number of workshops available, and we will want to make sure we reach all areas of the city, so we may not be able to schedule workshops for all applicants.
