Discover the Roles That Bring Art to Life

Organization: The UNITED of Westerly is a nonprofit arts, culture, and education center with a mission to unite the community through the arts. Located in Southern New England, the UNITED offers a wide range of programming - from live performances and film screenings to arts education and community events - all designed to be accessible, inclusive, and engaging. We provide hands-on opportunities for learners of all ages to explore the arts, while also creating space for collaboration, expression, and connection.

Opportunity: Students are invited to go behind the scenes at the UNITED for a guided tour that offers a firsthand look at the many careers that make the arts come to life. From lighting and sound to administration, marketing, and front-of-house operations, students will gain an overview of the wide range of roles in a working arts venue. When possible, these tours include a glimpse of our team in action - offering a real-world view of the creative and technical skills that support performances and events. It's an engaging way to connect young people to potential career paths they may not have considered, all within a space that values creativity, collaboration, and community.
