Applications for the Festivals's new Artistic Director have now closed.
Board Members - Nelson Festivals Trust
This year, the Nelson Arts Festival turns thirty and as we, the Nelson Festivals Trust, step bravely into the next three decades, we are looking for two new Trust members to help deliver on our refreshed strategy which sets an exciting and solid foundation for the future, as well as to support the team in staging a programme of unmissable arts activation that will enrich the people of our region.
At the core of this offering is the Nelson Arts Festival, the longest-running annual regional arts festival in Aotearoa, taking place annually in October across Whakatū and Te Tauihu.
This an unpaid, voluntary governance role. Board members are not required to be involved with the delivery of any of our programmes but to bring their governance skills to the table.
We meet monthly as a board and also have working groups aligned to our strategy. These working groups meet as required between board meetings.
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
- A passion for the arts
- Governance experience
- An understanding of Tikanga Māori
- Strategic planning skills
- A strong understanding of financial governance and commercial experience
- Have strong community connections in the Nelson/Tasman region
We are particularly keen to encourage applications from tāngata whenua and younger members of the community as well as those representing the diversity of cultures who call our region home.
Please contact Ali Boswijk for questions, and to apply please send a CV and covering letter to: info@nelsonartsfestival.nz
