Springville Center for the Arts seeks to add a full-time Performing Arts Director to our team who will manage music performances, coordinate our theater program, work with interns and guest artists during our summer youth programs, and help to craft special events or touring programs.
DUTIES
Performing Arts Presentations: Provide artistic direction, technical support, event management, and marketing related to concerts at our venues.
Theater Programs: Work with Theater Committee volunteers to produce a season of shows. Manage theater spaces and other assets such as props, costumes, or tools.
Summer Youth Programs: Select and manage summer interns and guest artists to participate in youth workshops and performing arts productions.
Special Events: Produce performing arts content at special events such as Art Crawl, Bootleg Soiree, or the Artsapalooza touring show.
General Administrative duties that are shared include staffing box office hours, researching funding, work on sponsorships and creating reports.
Candidates may come from a broad variety of backgrounds and those most likely to succeed have a long-term interest in the arts, experience in a nonprofit working environment, and/or event management. SCA has a small team and this position requires a person who is a self-starter and able to work with many different types of volunteers. They should have the ability to multi-task and adjust to seasonal or event-related fluctuations in workload. The position requires attendance at many weekend and evening programs. Long distance travel or working from home won’t lead to success. Learning is expected.
