ABOUT CLARA: CLARA provides education and resources to unleash the creative potential of local arts and culture in Sacramento. We manage the former Fremont School in Midtown, which Sacramento City Unified School District (SCUSD) donated to the community as a home for diverse arts organizations at below-market rates, in exchange for arts education donated back to Title I schools in the District. CLARA works with our cultural tenants to design creative, inspirational, and impactful arts programming that serves as their in-kind “rent” back to SCUSD; we independently create our own arts education programs as well; and create a space for community gathering through the activation of our historic home.
ABOUT OUR TEAM: CLARA is an equal opportunity employer; we seek to create an inclusive and welcoming environment that empowers good people to do great work. We believe that learning is a lifelong journey, and we value a workplace that prioritizes collaboration, creative thinking, and mutual respect. The arts are richer, fuller, and stronger when they incorporate myriad lived experiences, cultural perspectives, and points of view; we believe the same holds true for the work we do to advance the health of the arts in Sacramento. Therefore, we encourage applicants from all backgrounds to apply.
