Posted by The Barnes Foundation on October 28, 2025

The Program Officer for Fellowships is responsible for advancing the ongoing grantmaking efforts of The Pew Center for Arts and Heritage (“the Center”) to foster a vibrant and inclusive cultural community in Greater Philadelphia. The Program Officer will report to and thoughtfully partner with the Director of Grantmaking Programs on the planning and implementation of the Center’s annual Pew Fellowships in the Arts grant cycle (“Fellowships). The Program Officer will collaborate with the Director of Grantmaking Programs in developing program strategy that actively generates ideas for capacity-building programming, editorial content, publications, and other activities that advance the Center’s mission.

The Program Officer will research and connect with artists, curators, scholars, and other practitioners across the fields of art practices served by the Fellowships’ funding area. They will employ this knowledge in their work to contribute to the Center’s grantmaking processes and capacity-building programs, sharing their findings with Center colleagues, grantees and Pew Fellows, as well as other relevant Center constituencies.
