Join our Advisory Board – Apply Now!
APPLICATION DEADLINE: 7 May 2023
We are recruiting for a number of new Advisory Board members to work with us to develop Eastside Projects across the next three years.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
* We are looking for people of all ages and experiences.
* We are interested in new thinking and transferrable skills so you do not need to have been on a board before, and you do not need to work in the visual arts.
* We want to build a diverse, collaborative group of Advisors who are interested in both what we do and how we work, and who are up for thinking through how our artist-led, polyphonic approach can also be reflected in how Eastside Projects is governed and organised.
* We are especially interested in meeting people with expertise in architecture and city planning, law, fundraising, and community development. That said we are looking for people with a range of skills, approaches, and life experiences, so if you feel you have something to contribute then please apply.
* We believe our board should reflect the city we work in and so would like to hear from women and non-binary people, people with Global Majority Heritage, people who are disabled, d/Deaf or who have a chronic illness, and people from working-class and lower socio-economic backgrounds.
