Thanks for your interest in joining the Art Shanty Projects Board of Directors. We will have a few openings and are taking applications on a rolling basis in advance of our next season!
We are a working board responsible for a variety of tasks related to the annual program, as well as the long term fiscal health of the organization. We work in collaboration with paid staff members year round who produce our event. The typical time commitment is an average of 10 hours per month and more during the winter programming season (January-February).
We are looking for engaged, motivated individuals with a demonstrated commitment to any or all of the following: accessibility, decolonizing art and arts organizations, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.
We embrace many skill sets, and are especially looking for people with experience or interest in learning basic accounting, leadership, party planning, basic or experienced construction, development and fundraising, and strategic planning. We welcome people who have never been on a board, as well as those who have board experience.
We are dedicated to having a board that represents the community, and want our future to be influenced by diverse voices and perspectives. We are specifically seeking board members who are Indigenous/Native (especially Native folks from our regional nations), Black, Asian, Latinx, Queer, and/or people who have disabilities, but anyone invested in supporting radical temporary art is encouraged to apply. See our current staff & board members here!

We appreciate your interest, and will get back to you when we have openings that align with your awesome skills!
