Job description


About the Organization
Americans for the Arts ("AFTA") builds recognition and support for the extraordinary and dynamic value of the arts by leading, serving, and advancing networks of organizations and individuals who cultivate the arts across the nation. By connecting ideas and leaders from regionally diverse communities, Americans for the Arts ensures that every American has access to the transformative power of the arts.

Since its founding in 1960, AFTA has never been defined by a single purpose. Instead, AFTA represents a varied portfolio of organizations advocating for the economic, cultural, and social power of the arts. Today, Americans for the Arts blends expertise in research, advocacy, convening, and communication to bridge local and national efforts. At this pivotal moment, AFTA is also investing in new approaches to movement-building, digital engagement, and modernized advocacy practices, creating significant organizational opportunity for emerging capabilities and strategic renewal across systems, structures, and practices.

Working across all 50 states, Washington, DC, and the five U.S. Territories, AFTA supports a nationwide ecosystem of advocates, educators, artists, funders, policymakers, and cultural leaders who advance arts access, education, economic development, and community vitality.

AFTA reflects the full spectrum of stakeholders within the arts and culture ecosystem. This includes individuals, nonprofit arts and culture organizations, local arts agencies, advocates, artists, arts administrators, and businesses. This breadth of partnership allows AFTA to draw on a wide array of perspectives and expertise, strengthening its ability to mobilize an informed and effective national arts advocacy network.

As the nation navigates a shifting policy environment, AFTA is actively engaging to protect and strengthen the creative sector. Under new leadership, the organization is aligning its mission with renewed urgency and responsiveness to ensure that arts and culture remain central to America's economic, social, and democratic future.

Across more than six decades, AFTA's commitment remains unwavering: transforming America's collective creativity into a powerful engine that drives innovation, protects democracy, and expands opportunities for artists, arts and culture organizations, and the communities they serve.

Research & Tools
AFTA stands at the forefront of arts research and tool development, offering invaluable resources that empower arts leaders, policymakers, and advocates to shape policies that enhance the arts' role in community development. AFTA's flagship study, Arts & Economic Prosperity, now in its sixth iteration, is the most comprehensive analysis of the nonprofit arts and culture industry's economic impact, encompassing data from hundreds of communities nationwide. AFTA's Arts Impact Explorer links the arts to key social outcomes, providing advocates with a powerful resource to demonstrate the arts' role in community well-being. The Arts Impact Explorer represents one of many practical tools AFTA has developed to equip and strengthen the broader arts community.

Convening & Programs
As economic, cultural, social, and technological transformations continue to impact us all, AFTA sees change as an immense opportunity to radically reimagine how to gather, learn, and grow together. Embracing this change, AFTA's history of dynamic convenings sets the stage for an exciting future.

Further, AFTA's commitment to innovation, equity, and impactful engagement positions the arts community for exponential growth. By continuously evolving its events and programs, AFTA ensures it meets the needs of its diverse and dynamic community, driving forward a future where the arts play a central role in society.

Key convenings and programs include:
Legislative Fly-Ins: During Covid-19, AFTA pivoted from its large Arts Advocacy Day Conference to Federal Legislative Fly-Ins, held three times a year. These targeted events bring advocates from key districts to engage with influential Members of Congress. Reimagined as a year-long advocacy program, it now includes webinar trainings, D.C.-based Legislative Fly-Ins, and nationwide advocacy training Fly-Outs, enhancing our ability to lobby and provide robust advocacy training throughout the year.
Annual Convention (AFTACON): After shifting to a virtual format during the pandemic, AFTA paused its Annual Convention to reassess and reimagine its offerings. AFTACON returned as an in-person gathering in 2025 in Cincinnati. In 2026, AFTACON will be hosted in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and guided by the work of selected pathway committees addressing a broad range of content areas, including advocacy. The convening will serve as a dynamic forum for the national arts community to engage, frame critical issues, shape the future and organize for action.
Nancy Hanks Lecture on Arts & Public Policy: This lecture series is the leading national forum for arts policy intended to stimulate dialogue on policy and social issues affecting the arts. The event brings together influential voices from the arts, government, and civic life to elevate national dialogue on arts advocacy and the arts' essential role in public policy. In 2024, the lecture featured actor and cultural advocate Jeffrey Wright alongside Congressman James Clyburn (D-SC), recipient of the 2024 Congressional Arts Leadership Award, underscoring the ongoing relevance, reach, and impact of arts and cultural policy at the highest levels of public discourse.

Communications
AFTA maintains an expansive communications platform designed to advance and strengthen the country's arts and creative sector. Through a mix of digital tools -- social media, webinars, newsletters, and a website -- AFTA disseminates timely information to a wide audience across arts, policy, and civic landscapes. Strategic partnerships with organizations, policymakers, and cultural institutions further amplify AFTA's messaging, enhancing its policy impact. Collectively, this platform engages hundreds of thousands of followers across social media channels, a large newsletter subscriber base, and frequent website visitors.

Advocacy
AFTA, a Section 501(c)(3) organization, is uniquely positioned to unite people across political affiliations and sectors. The organization maintains strong, long-standing relationships with Members of Congress, federal agencies, and policy leaders, enabling it to effectively advance arts-related priorities at the federal level. This influence is further strengthened through its affiliated 501(c)(4) organization, the AFTA Action Fund. Together, these complementary entities advance policy, mobilize grassroots support, and elevate the arts as a national priority.

Americans for the Arts Action Fund (AAF) is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit advocacy membership organization that engages in direct and grassroots lobbying, as well as permissible electoral and political activities to advance arts policy at the federal level. As an affiliate of Americans for the Arts, the Action Fund works to mobilize a nationwide network of individual arts advocates-currently exceeding 400,000 members-to influence policymakers and strengthen bipartisan support for the arts. Americans for the Arts provides an annual grant of to the Action Fund to support nonpolitical grassroots organizing, public education, and membership development efforts. The Arts Action Fund operates independently, has its own Board of Directors, and maintains its own website which can be found here: https://www.artsactionfund.org/.  The Arts Action Fund also has a connected federal political action committee, the Americans for the Arts Action Fund PAC.

The CGAO provides overall strategic leadership for Americans for the Arts' advocacy platform, working within the limitations on lobbying and political activities imposed by Section 501(c)(3), and coordinates appropriately with the independently governed Americans for the Arts Action Fund to promote alignment, information-sharing, and legal compliance between the two entities, particularly where the Action Fund conducts permissible 501(c)(4) lobbying and political activity.

Based in Washington, DC, the CGAO builds and sustains high-level relationships with Members of Congress, federal agencies, and national advocacy partners. The CGAO serves as the lead strategist for government affairs and oversees all activities, including nonpartisan policy development, public education, research dissemination, coalition building, and grassroots engagement.

The CGAO translates strategy into execution by setting priorities, strengthening internal systems, and aligning staff and resources around shared advocacy goals.
