Job description

Art Engagement Facilitator – Create Joy Through Art

Fine Art Miracles, Inc. - Pittsburgh, PA

Do you believe in the power of creativity to connect people, lift spirits, and spark something new? Are you someone who brings a warm, encouraging energy into a room, and loves helping others express themselves through painting, drawing, collage, or other forms of visual art?

We're looking for someone just like you to lead small group art-based sessions designed to inspire participation, creativity, and connection in our community of older adults.

This role involves some local driving between care facilities, and the schedule is flexible, a great fit for someone looking for part-time hours or meaningful side work doing what they love.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Leading fun, accessible art sessions tailored to your strengths—painting, collage, drawing, group mural-making, themed crafts, or whatever you bring to the table.
• Creating a welcoming, relaxed environment where residents feel safe to explore and express themselves.
• Encouraging engagement from participants of all abilities, including those who may have limited mobility, memory challenges, or don’t usually initiate activity.
• Traveling to local care homes or assisted living communities to lead these sessions.
• Bringing joy, self-expression, and a sense of accomplishment to people who may not get that opportunity every day.

This Could Be a Great Fit If You

• Have experience working with older adults, especially in nursing homes, assisted living, or memory care settings.
• Are upbeat, patient, and comfortable guiding small groups with varying ability levels.
• Are a self-starter who can design and lead your own sessions, with creativity and care.
• Have a background in art instruction, recreational therapy, or art therapy, or have facilitated art experiences in community or care settings.
• Have a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.

A bachelors degree is required, but we value your experience, creativity, and ability to connect above al!

Bonus Points If You

• Have experience working with individuals with dementia or cognitive challenges
• Can adapt your projects based on the group’s mood and energy
• Bring your own art examples to inspire your participants
• Love celebrating small wins and encouraging self-expression

This isn’t just a job, it’s a chance to bring light and connection into people’s lives through creativity.

Apply today and help us turn ordinary afternoons into something colorful, expressive, and memorable!
