  • Coordinate and participate in public relations and promotional activities regionally and nationally.
  • Participate in City cultural planning initiatives, as a member of the Cultural Services leadership team.
  • Serve Ex Officio to the Surrey Art Gallery Association Board supporting strategic planning work and board development.
  • Prepare and deliver a range of presentations and reports on the Gallery’s operations and future to funders, City Council, Committees, etc.


Qualifications

  • Minimum of five years of progressively responsible experience in the delivery of cultural programs and services, including facility management and staff supervision.
  • A deep and broad knowledge of contemporary arts and the regional and national arts communities and emerging trends and practices.
  • Demonstrated ability supervising and managing a large and high performing staff team.
  • Strong ability to build and maintain positive relationships with diverse range of staff, community stakeholders, artists, arts organizations, and the general public.
  • Demonstrated ability authoring reports, grant applications and delivering presentations for a broad range of audiences.
