Our board is a working board and each board position has its own committee and responsibilities to oversee. We have an interview process and orientation documents so you can have a clear understanding of what our expectations are if you are approved onto the Board. These are important - CRUCIAL - positions ... and again, we're reaching out to our members for your help. You don't have to be an artist to serve -- just a love for this place, agreement with our mission and the time & commitment to serve for a minimum of two years. You'll make new friends and be a part of a great team of creative, caring people!
