Join our Board of Directors
December 12, 2023
Director on the Music Gallery Board (Volunteer Position)
Deadline: February 5, 2024
Who we are: The Music Gallery cultivates artistic experimentation and community through sound, music and sharing in the creative process. We have been programming in Toronto since 1976. Each year we present a series of concerts, festivals, workshops, and residencies that centre genre-defying music, and strengthen connections between artists and audiences.
About the role: We are looking for community members who care about our mission, and share our values, to join our board of directors. Our board reflects a range of lived experiences and identities. Collectively the board serves a governance and policy role in support of strategic and operational matters, while prioritizing anti-racism and anti-oppression in our planning and decision-making.
- Directors serve two-year terms, and volunteer between 5 and 10 hours per month to prepare for and attend meetings. A majority of meetings take place remotely by video.
- Each director serves on at least one board committee. Existing committees include: equity, diversity and inclusivity; fund development; venue; and, history and archives.
- Directors are encouraged to take part in Music Gallery events and help build awareness of our activities through their network.
- Board members will occasionally participate in group training on relevant topics.
- We welcome all interested applicants, and will prioritize those with the following skills/experiences/interests:
- Previous board or related organizational/leadership experience
- Financial management
- Non-profit development strategies (donor, sponsor, foundation)
- Desire to potentially grow into a role on the executive committee of the board
We are committed to maintaining a Board that reflects Toronto’s diversity. We especially encourage applications from BIPOC people, people with disabilities, and people of diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions.
