"Apply NOW to be our next Executive Director!

Are you passionate about arts in the rural west? Do you have deep nonprofit experience?

At Methow Arts Alliance, we believe the arts play an essential role in building healthy and vibrant communities in North Central Washington. That’s why we’re excited to announce we are hiring for an Executive Director to lead our organization into its fourth decade of operation. Our dream candidate understands that a well-run nonprofit organization makes it possible for Methow Arts to meet our mission:

“Enriching the lives of people in Okanogan County by making the arts an integral and dynamic part of public school education, economic vitality, and community.”

The ideal person for this job has a great personality for managing people, can write the wheels off of a grant application and newsletter alike, pays keen attention to administrative processes and fund development, is determined to collaborate across all sorts of boundaries, and is adamant that art education be in our schools. They also must have experience designing and operating non-profit systems and bring an ethos that embodies transparency and collaboration. Oh yeah, we also want someone who relishes in creative flair, which can be fun, funky, and sometimes even edgy… because the arts are meant to push boundaries and challenge perceptions. This position is perfectly poised to design and build the sound platform from which our artistic programs will flourish.

Does this sound like you and the opportunity you are looking for? Then we’d love to meet you."

The Beatles wrote this song to inspire people of all nationalities and backgrounds to live in mutual understanding and to spread love instead of violence. With this in mind, Gallery Syre calls for artists who use art as a messenger of love and universal understanding.
