We are looking for a new co-director!  
You will be part of a small team overseeing and contributing to the operation and development of a young and growing ARI on the Sunshine Coast/Kabi Kabi Country. We are currently based out of The Old Lock Up in Maroochydore, supported by Artscoast + Sunshine Coast Council.

WHO
The person will be based on the Sunshine Coast/Kabi Kabi country, have experience producing exhibitions and events, admin and organisational skills, outstanding verbal + written communication, and an overall understanding and dedication to contemporary art practices, emphasising experimentation, critical engagement, emerging artists, and local community.

Tasks may include but are not limited to administration, programming, artist liaison + communications, exhibition and event delivery/facilitation, gallery installation, gallery invigilation, sourcing and maintaining opportunities such as funding and budgets and subsequent reporting, maintaining and building relationships with community and stakeholders, online promotions, and archiving.

HOURS
Hours vary across projects, but the role will roughly require 2-3 hours per week with fluctuations during exhibition periods and further programming.

REIMBURSEMENT 
All roles with IN | artist run initiative, including the co-director position, are predominately volunteer. Unfortunately, IN cannot offer secure wages for your time.

For example: gallery assistance (gallery invigilation and assistance with the production of exhibitions + events); installation assistance; digital profiling and promotions; finance officer; etc. Have something else you can offer?
