Art Bridges Foundation is the vision of philanthropist and arts patron Alice Walton. Since 2017, Art Bridges has created and supported projects that bring outstanding works of American art out of storage and into communities. Art Bridges partners with a growing network of over 250 museums of all sizes and locations—impacting more than 20 million people across 50 states and Puerto Rico—to provide financial and strategic support for exhibition development, collection loans, and programs designed to educate, inspire, and deepen engagement with local audiences.

The Art Bridges Collection represents an expanding vision of American art from the 19th century to present day and encompasses multiple media and voices. For more information, visit artbridgesfoundation.org.

The Fellows, Internships, and Wellness Initiatives Coordinator plays a key role in supporting three core program areas across Art Bridges: the national Fellows Program, the Art Bridges Internship Program, and the Foundation’s growing wellness initiatives. Fellows work in partner museums nationwide for three-year terms and participate in annual gatherings in Northwest Arkansas, while interns join Art Bridges through academic-year or summer programs.

Wellness initiatives include a bi-annual convening and collaboration with partner museums on wellness-centered projects. The Coordinator works closely with fellows, interns, partner museums, and colleagues across multiple departments, requiring strong relationship management and cross-team communication skills.

This role ensures smooth program operations by coordinating logistics, maintaining accurate records and databases, tracking program activities, and supporting communication with internal teams, external partners, fellows, and interns. Working closely with the Director of Fellows, Internships, and Wellness Initiatives, the Coordinator manages a variety of administrative, programmatic, and event-related tasks that strengthen the impact and efficiency of all three programs.

Success in this role requires strong organization, exceptional attention to detail, and a proactive, service-oriented approach. The Coordinator must thrive in a collaborative environment, balance multiple priorities, and demonstrate a genuine interest in supporting fellows, interns, and wellness initiatives at Art Bridges.
