    Co-Directors - Washington DC, United States - Homeword

    Default job background
    Description

    What We Are Looking for in Our New Co-Directors

    • What we most seek are people who have a deep and extensive belief in the development of artists and creation of artistic work that moves in new directions . Our Co-Directors will take their own skills, experiences, and passions to advance the work of multidisciplinary artists (including their own work ) to grow HERE as a connected community and to grow the resources available to fuel the vanguard of our national artistic adventure.
    • With three Co-Directors sharing responsibilities and leadership, we are eager to have three very different and distinct individuals whose perspectives can inform and build on one another.
    Areas of Responsibility
    • The three Co-Directors will fully share some activities, and take clear lead roles individually in other areas. They are currently expected to fully share overall strategy, artistic vision, managing capacity, caring for HERE's people, representing HERE externally, individual relationship development, fundraising, and collaboration with the Board of Directors. All three Co-Directors are expected to participate in the HARP program and are welcome to have their own artistic practice.
    • Split in some fashion between the two new Co-Directors, HERE is looking for expertise and leadership in the following areas: Uplifting and reinforcing HERE's values in direct behaviors on the team, the use and evolution of HERE's physical spaces, strengthening and management of the Sublet Series with presented artists, General Management around coordination with HERE's community, comprehensive financial planning and budgeting, design and management of an individual donor tracking and engagement program, coaching and support for the team on individual fundraising, institutional giving strategy and management, and deepening audience engagement and community building.

    ● Annual salary of $100,000. (Each of the three Co-Directors will receive the same salary.)

    ● Benefits including contributions to medical, dental, and vision insurance, access to a 403B retirement program, and an evolving PTO policy that emphasizes all employees taking time to rest and recover.

    Co-Directors are expected to live in the New York area and be present on-site weekly, with variations as agreed between the Co-Directors to fulfill HERE's activity and community building needs.

    How to Apply

    Email . This email comes to Calida Jones, Doug Clayton, and Rebecca Novick of Creative Evolutions, who will respond to you to confirm receipt and who will stay in communication with you consistently throughout the process.

    Please review the submission instructions at We ask for some form of resume, and for you to consider and provide answers to a set of specific questions, rather than a general cover letter. You are also welcome to apply with another individual as a two-person team to fill the two co-director roles.

    Thank you for your time and energy applying for this opportunity

    HERE strives to create an equitable, diverse, and inclusive home in which all people have fair access to the resources they need to realize their visions. We acknowledge structural inequities that exclude individuals and communities from opportunities based on race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, class, age, and geography, and seek to counter those inequities in our work. Through mindful actions on sustainability and regenerative practices, we work toward climate justice, and a safe, livable planet for present and future artmakers and audiences.

    Programs

    Since its inception, HERE has been home to such acclaimed artists and works as Basil Twist's Dream Music Puppetry Program, Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues, Taylor Mac's The Lily's Revenge, Trey Lyford & Geoff Sobelle's all wear bowlers, Young Jean Lee's Songs of the Dragons Flying to Heaven, James Scruggs' Disposable Men, Corey Dargel's Removable Parts, Robin Frohardt's The Pigeoning, and Looking at You by Rob Handel, Kristin Marting and Kamala Sankaram. We have produced and presented over 1,200 original works; served over 15,000 artists; and welcomed over 1,000,000 audience members. HERE's work and artists have received 16 OBIE Awards, 2 OBIE Grants and a CUNY Booth Award for artistic achievement, 2 Berilla Kerr Awards, 4 NY Innovative Theatre Awards, 2 Bessie Awards, 2 Pulitzer Prizes, 1 Pulitzer nomination, 6 Drama Desk nominations, 2 MacArthur "Genius Grant" Fellowships and most recently, 7 Tony nominations. HERE remains on "Best Off-Off Broadway" theatre lists across New York City, and co-produced the PROTOTYPE festival for ten years, a role which will conclude in 2025. HERE's Here Artist Residency Program (HARP), is one of the most robust residency programs in the country and serves as a national model. HARP provides a commission, developmental support, career planning, and an opportunity for a full production to cross-genre artists within a collaborative environment of peers working across disparate art forms – including theatre, dance, music, puppetry, visual art, and new media. Each HARP artist receives significant long-term support of $125,000, which includes $50,000 in cash and more than $75,000 in equipment, space, and services over 2-3 years to tailor each residency to each artist's individual needs.
