The Ultimate Volunteer Position!

As you probably know, our mission is to provide arts enrichment to the community. We accomplish this through classes, workshops, gallery shows and outreach programs. We use freelance instructors and have a small office staff. Our events, programming, fundraising etc., are all led by board members, often in conjunction with volunteers.  

We are currently looking for board members who have the ability to lead and have skills to help us continue our growth and plan for the future. Every board member is expected to chair one event or oversee some aspect of art center operations. We meet the first Monday evening of every month.

If you have an interest in joining the board at the North Hills Art Center, please send a cover letter and resume to our executive director, Kim Freithaler  (execdirector@northhillsartcenter.org) with the subject: BOARD MEMBER (all caps please).
