Community Arts Worker Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last few years supporting community art projects that bring people together to tell local stories. In my last role I worked across 12 community hubs to map needs and co-develop programs, and I helped secure funding that kept two key initiatives running for another year. I’ve found that clear listening and practical planning make the biggest difference on the ground. I’m drawn to this role because of the balance between consultation, resource development and programme evaluation. I’ve got hands on experience with community surveys, focus groups and stakeholder workshops, and I’m comfortable with data evaluation and reporting to funders. I’m familiar with keeping plans simple and accountable, while ensuring activities stay relevant to participants and partners. One recent project stands out. I ran a series of creative workshops in a local evening program, collecting feedback from residents and mapping gaps in access. We adjusted the timetable and added a drop in art drop for families. Significantly improved attendance and positive participant feedback, and we produced a concise report for a funding submission that helped extend the program for another year. I’m available to discuss how my background in community art and project coordination can contribute to [Company Name]. I’m keen to chat about priorities and how I would approach next steps. Kind regards, [Your Name]
