artsforla on October 1, 2026

Social Media Coordinator (Part-Time)
Dyson & Womack
Location: In-house (Los Angeles)

Full job description
Dyson & Womack is a Los Angeles-based public art consulting and fabrication firm. We work with artists, architects, institutions, cities, and developers to realize ambitious artworks—from concept and engineering through fabrication, finishing, and installation.
We are looking for a visually sophisticated Social Content Producer to help tell the story of our work and strengthen the Dyson & Womack brand online.

The Role
This is a hands-on creative role focused on developing approximately two polished social posts per week for Instagram and LinkedIn, with occasional YouTube content.
The ideal candidate can recognize a compelling story within an active fabrication studio and transform it into intelligent, visually engaging content. You do not need to be a fabricator, but you should be genuinely interested in art, architecture, design, engineering, materials, and how things are made.
Working with the Studio Manager and D&W leadership, you will align the content calendar with active projects and business priorities—whether highlighting a particular fabrication capability, documenting an installation, sharing an artist collaboration, or drawing new stories from our extensive project archive.

Responsibilities
Develop and maintain a monthly content calendar aligned with studio activity and business priorities.
Produce approximately two publication-ready posts per week, including short-form videos, Reels, carousels, project highlights, and educational content.
Photograph and film fabrication, finishing, transportation, installation, and other behind-the-scenes processes.
Research D&W’s archive and repurpose existing photography, video, renderings, and project documentation into new content.
Interview artists, fabricators, engineers, and team members when useful to a story.
Write clear, informed captions that communicate both the creative and technical dimensions of the work.
Create simple, brand-aligned graphics, titles, subtitles, and supporting assets.
Deliver complete post packages—including final media, captions, credits, tags, and alt text—to the Studio Manager for publishing.
Maintain an organized, searchable library of social content and source assets.
Use AI-enabled tools thoughtfully for research, transcription, footage review, ideation, repurposing, and workflow efficiency while maintaining accuracy, confidentiality, and a distinct human voice.
Review basic performance data and apply relevant insights to future content.
What We’re Looking For
Experience producing social content for a creative business, studio, artist, cultural organization, architecture or design firm, or comparable brand.
A strong portfolio demonstrating visual storytelling, photography, and short-form video.
Strong writing, research, visual judgment, and attention to detail.
Proficiency with Premiere Pro, CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, or comparable editing software.
Familiarity with Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube content formats.
Experience using AI-assisted creative or production tools with sound editorial judgment.
Strong organizational skills and the ability to work independently.
Comfort working safely in an active fabrication shop and occasionally visiting project sites and installations.
Experience with graphic design, Adobe Creative Suite, motion graphics, interviewing, or contemporary art is helpful but not required.

What Success Looks Like
The goal is not simply to post more. It is to build a distinctive visual identity for Dyson & Womack and show what goes into realizing ambitious public artwork.
You will help turn the work already happening every day—designing, welding, fabricating, finishing, transporting, installing, problem-solving, and collaborating with artists—into compelling stories that demonstrate the quality, complexity, and values behind our work.
Position Details
Part-time, approximately [12–16] hours per week
Primarily in person at our Los Angeles-area studio, with flexibility for some editing and planning work to be completed remotely
Company-provided laptop, business iPhone, software, and digital storage
Occasional local travel to project sites, installations, and artist studios
Compensation: [$28 – $34 per hour], depending on experience
Potential for the position to grow as D&W’s content program develops

Facilities and Operations Manager

artsforla on September 25, 2026

New Theater Hollywood seeks a Facilities and Operations Manager beginning mid-October 2026.

This is a seasonal, on-site role, running October through July, averaging 18 hours per week at our 49-seat black box theater on Santa Monica Blvd in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

We are looking for someone who is excited about performance, has a proactive and hands-on attitude, and has experience working at a small venue (theater, film, or art-related preferred). We’re a small team, and you will work closely with the artistic directors, artists, producer, and front-of-house staff to ensure that operations run smoothly. That means moving between tasks as needed – mopping the floor, helping set lights, settling ticket disputes, or whatever else a rehearsal or show calls for.

What you’ll do:
• Oversee rehearsals and prep for shows. Open the theater, welcome artists and performers, make sure the green room and stage are clean and prepared, run errands the day of the show, and assist artists as needed.
• Schedule staff. Coordinate tech and front-of-house staff for each performance.
• Manage ticketing. Answer audience questions, resolve issues, and prepare guest lists.
• Facilitate rentals. Maintain rental listings, communicate with renters, meet for site visits, prepare the space for rental, inspect and reset the space after each rental. The theater is rented out about 1-2 times per month.
• Maintain the space. Restock supplies, handle minor repairs, and coordinate with vendors.
• Solve problems as needed. Things come up last minute at the theater and we are looking for someone who can be flexible and calm under pressure.

There is no fixed weekly schedule for this position, but evening and weekend availability is required. We program consecutive limited runs, averaging about 8 performances per month. Most shows start at 8pm. Rehearsal schedules vary by production, and more work will be required during show weeks.

Strong candidates will have:
• Experience working at a venue (theater, film, or art-related preferred)
• A car, a valid driver’s license, and a short commute to Hollywood
• Knowledge of, and curiosity about, theater terms, equipment, and processes
• Familiarity with contemporary culture beyond theater. Many of our artists are writers, visual artists, and filmmakers who are new to the stage.
• Some experience with online ticketing systems
The ability to lift and move equipment and set pieces

Compensation: $1,900 per month, October through July. As a young organization, we are looking for someone who wants to grow with us and help improve the day-to-day systems at the theater, and we hope to renew the role beyond this first year. This is a grant-funded position and its continuation depends on funding.

New Theater Hollywood is an equal opportunity employer.
