Program And Events Coordinator

The Programs and Events Coordinator (PEC) will assist with the planning and implementation of programming and events for a public park/open space within Ivy Station, a transient-oriented mixed-use development. Ivy Station, with its signature public park at its center, hosts onsite amenities such as games and an outdoor reading room, and regularly scheduled programs including fitness classes, arts and crafts, kids story time, live music, movie nights, and a monthly night market. Programming is free, open to the public, and is curated to appeal to the project’s residents, hotel guests, office workers, and retail patrons, as well as to the broader Culver City and Los Angeles communities. While many of the programming ideas and relationships are already established and ongoing, the PEC will support the expansion of the programming calendar and be involved in establishing new relationships and ideas for future programming.
