Winnipeg MB, Canada Natalie Bell Consulting Full time

The Winnipeg Arts Council Board of Directors is seeking a collaborative, visionary leader with a passion for the arts to maintain the quality and standards of the organization while developing opportunities for growth and innovation.

Organization

As the municipal arts funding body, the Winnipeg Arts Council (WAC) is a cornerstone of Winnipeg's vibrant arts community. An independent, non-profit corporation with charitable status, WAC operates as an arm's-length agency for the City of Winnipeg. With a mandate focused on artistic excellence and community impact, WAC supports opportunities for Winnipeggers to engage with the arts as creators and audiences.

Our core programs include: 

(1) peer-assessed grant programs that respond to the evolving needs of Winnipeg's diverse artistic community. In 2023, WAC invested over $4 million in the local arts community, supporting a wide array of arts organizations, collectives, and individuals across all artistic disciplines.

(2) management of the City's Public Art Program and Collection, collaborating with various city departments and community partners to enrich Winnipeg's public spaces through art. 

(3) the provision of arts development programs and projects, often engaging in partnerships that offer arts experiences to all Winnipeggers.

With a dedicated team of staff members and a committed Board of Directors, we're seeking a dynamic leader to guide our organization into its next exciting chapter.

Position Summary

The Executive Director has a vital leadership role and is responsible for both the current operations and future growth of the Winnipeg Arts Council.
