Design at Emily Carr University has evolved as a human-centred practice that focuses on the social, technological, and experiential needs of contemporary society. As such, the three majors have shared values and goals in areas of collaboration, sustainability, interdisciplinarity, technological engagement, design methods, and research.

Executive Director

BACKGROUND
 
Soundstreams is well supported by the public and private sectors. The annual budget of $1.2 million is maintained through government support (49%), including the Department of Canadian Heritage, Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council and the Toronto Arts Council and others, private sector support (37%), including lead corporate sponsorships from TD Bank and BMO, major gifts from our Premiere Circle donors, and earned revenue including box office (13%).
 
Going forward, governments are expected to continue to support Soundstreams, but donors, corporate sponsors, ticket sales and other private sector sources of revenue need to become a greater part of its revenue base. The Executive Director will benefit from the fiscal responsibility of Soundstreams to date, and a wide range of private sector support already established. Soundstreams employs five permanent staff and three part time/contract staff.
 
 
THE POSITION
 
As Executive Director of Soundstreams you will inspire the Board, staff, arts community, City of Toronto, and audience members by leading the company to even greater prominence as one of Canada’s most respected contemporary arts organisations.
 
Your inspired leadership will ensure that Soundstreams continues to present innovative artistic programming excellence to attract a diverse and expanding audience, and has the financial and operational capacity to fully support its mission today and into the future. You are a visionary who will shape the overall strategic direction for Soundstreams while working in close partnership with a dedicated Board and staff.
