PAVED Arts Board of Directors
PAVED Arts, Saskatchewan
Deadline: July 03, 2024 - August 30, 2024
PAVED Arts is a not-for-profit, artist-run centre for production, presentation, research, and dissemination of contemporary media arts. The word PAVED is an acronym signifying the integration of media art forms addressed by our mandate: photographic, audio, video, electronic, digital. PAVED Arts exists to support artists who work in these media.
Our mandate is to support local, regional and national artists working in the ‘PAVED’ arts by operating an access and production centre for media and new media creation, while simultaneously operating a presentation centre that exhibits and disseminates contemporary visual, media and new media art in time-based, gallery, and off-site modes.
PAVED Arts is seeking vibrant leaders who share our commitment to exploring media arts. We are looking for professionals (community members, artists, film and video makers, art administrators, art supporters) with experience and/or interest in not-for-profit/non profit governance/budgeting/finance, fundraising/development, facilities and project planning, event planning, media arts programming and production. We welcome applications from all who support our vision and are willing to commit 8 to 10 hours per month to the organization for a minimum of a two-year term.
Purpose and Role of the Board

Commitments include attending board meetings, committee participation, and providing support to our flourishing organization. Directors may not receive financial compensation or apply for exhibitions while serving on the board, and will be expected to hold their positions until the next Annual General Meeting.
