Event Coordinator/Facility Manager

Organization Overview: Shakori Hills Community Arts Center (SHCAC) is a North Carolina based non-profit organization that began out of love for and operation of the Shakori Hills GrassRoots Festival (SHGRF). Now two decades later, SHCAC has become more than a co-hosting organization for the festival – it’s a dynamic organization with its own programs and community, including Hoppin’ John Fiddlers’ Convention, Roots in the Schools, and workshops. We also occasionally partner with local organizations as a venue to host their events.
