Hamilton Artists Inc. Board of Directors Application

Thank you for your interest in joining Hamilton Artists Inc.’s Board of Directors!

The Board consists of Members who possess a variety of skills, knowledge, perspectives and talents. The Inc. is committed to equity and inclusion at all levels of the organization and programming. We encourage applications from individuals with a range of backgrounds and life experiences. As an artist-run centre, the majority of our Board members must be practicing artists or arts administrators.

Ideal candidates are practicing artists or people who have an interest in contemporary art and non-profit management. We welcome candidates who are community-minded and possess good communication and interpersonal skills. Any of the following will be considered an asset: experience in BIPOC organizations or related life experience, experience in LGBTQ+ organizations or related life experience, experience with disability advocacy or related life experience, fundraising and development, fiscal management, event management, marketing and communications or previous experience in non-profit culture. None of these experiences are mandatory – if you want to participate, we want to hear from you.

Board members must be members of the Inc. in good standing. Board members are volunteers and therefore cannot be financially compensated for their work, or exhibit at the Hamilton Artists Inc. while serving on the Board of Directors.

We welcome submissions from artists of all backgrounds (including but not limited to): Indigenous, Black, people of colour, refugees, newcomers, immigrants, Two-Spirit, LGBTQ+, gender non-binary persons, persons with disabilities, and those on low-incomes or living in poverty. Please advise us of any accommodations needed to ensure you can access and complete the submissions process.
