Thank you for your time and energy applying for this opportunity!

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.
Compensation/Benefits: 

●        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.

About Us
Mission: 

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.

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. <!--![endif]---->
