Work in Culture

Work in Culture (WIC) is a non-profit arts service organization that has been serving the cultural sector since 1998.Our mission is to advance the careers of artists, creatives, and cultural workers from diverse lived experiences, and support the organizations that engage them, through entrepreneurial and business skills development and innovative research.

Work in Culture is here to support and encourage artists, creatives, and all cultural workers to strive for success, whatever that may mean to each individual. We develop and deliver business, entrepreneurial, organizational, and career training for arts and culture workers, in person and online, across all arts disciplines, cultural industries, and career levels. We serve as a platform of opportunities. With over 1,700 jobs posted every year, our popular arts and culture Job Board connects job seekers with employers across the country, and arts and culture workers with a range of professional development and volunteer opportunities. We explore sector conditions, trends, and priorities through innovative research. Our research projects highlight the social and economic impact of the arts and culture community, and identify our sector’s business skills/training gaps and needs to inform future programming. We also share success stories from the sector and best practices and resources for living, working and thriving in arts and culture.

Additionally, we work with sector leaders, organizations, and funders as a partner of choice for business skills training within the arts and culture sector.
