BlackFlash Magazine is accepting applications to join our Board of Directors.
BlackFlash fosters critical discourse and thoughtful engagement with contemporary art practice from a distinctive prairie perspective. BlackFlash is published in Saskatoon by Buffalo Berry Press, a registered not-for-profit corporation with charitable status.
Board members commit to a minimum two-year volunteer term and will bring leadership, energy, and experience to the organization. We are seeking a broad range of knowledge and skills. The organization values diverse cultural backgrounds and strives for balanced gender representation.
Requirements
- An interest in contemporary art;
- Passion for building and developing the prairie art community;
- Available for monthly board meetings plus 15-20 annual volunteer hours (fundraising, programming activities, development initiatives, etc.);
- Ability to contribute specific skills and attributes to the organization;
- Act as ambassadors, promoting the values and work of the organization.
BlackFlash particularly welcomes applications from individuals with a strong background in fundraising, development, finance, legal, business management, or board governance. Exposure to non-profit arts organizations is an asset.
About Us
Published three times per year, BlackFlash is a platform for emerging and established artists, writers, and curators. BlackFlash helps develop and support professional art practice while providing a space for culturally and artistically diverse voices. While our program includes writers and artists from across the country and abroad, we have a specific interest in supporting the work of writers and artists practicing in the prairies.
