About Arts Umbrella

Arts Umbrella is where young artists ages 2–22 cultivate their creativity in Art, Design, Dance, Theatre, Music, and Film. As a non-profit organization for arts education, we believe that art is powerful. Powerful enough to change a child's life in incredible ways. When young people connect with the arts, they gain self-confidence, develop self-discipline, and discover creative expression—qualities they carry with them for life. Arts Umbrella has two locations in Vancouver and Surrey, as well as donor-funded programs at schools, community centres, neighbourhood houses, and healthcare facilities across Metro Vancouver. We serve nearly 20,000 young people every year, with 77% participating in donor-funded programs.

In April 2021, Arts Umbrella moved into a new home on Granville Island. This transformational opportunity allows us to further our vision for a better world where all young lives are inspired to pursue a lifelong journey towards self-expression, compassion, and humanity. It is our mission to be a leader in arts education for young people; to build community and deliver profound life experiences through our commitment to innovation, excellence, and inclusivity. Arts Umbrella is an organization full of heart, where self-expression and creativity are valued and nurtured.

In this role you will

  • Collaborate with the Artistic Director of Art & Design to prepare sessional program overviews, ensuring alignment with curriculum documents and fostering positive student engagement in the classroom, with a particular focus on Media Arts and 3D Modelling & Animation.
  • Design and deliver innovative programming that develops students' technical and creative skills in Media Arts and 3D Modelling & Animation, while encouraging exploration, creativity, and collaboration.
  • Work closely with Assistants and community partners to ensure student safety and active participation throughout Arts Umbrella programs.

  • Provide regular updates to the Coordinator of Community Programming on program status, addressing concerns or issues as they arise, and requesting administrative support when needed.

 Here is what you bring

  • Education in Media Arts, Animation, 3D Modelling, Digital Arts, Fine Arts, Graphic Design, or a related field preferred
  • Equivalent professional experience in Media Arts and/or 3D Modelling & Animation will also be considered.
  • Experience working with children

Diversity & Inclusion

Arts Umbrella is dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion. Our commitment is reflected in our programming, the audience we engage with, the students we serve as well as the staff we employ. Diversity and inclusion in our organization means fostering a workplace in which individual differences are recognized, appreciated, and respected. We actively seek applications from Indigenous peoples, visible minorities, persons with disabilities, people of all sexual orientations and genders, and others with knowledge in diversity and inclusion to help us strengthen our commitment.
