Knowledge Connector

Call for Applications: Knowledge Connector
— interConnect: Developing collective digital intelligence in the broad visual and media arts sector

  • Application deadline: January 9, 2023
  • Anticipated start date: January 26, 2023
  • Conditions: Fixed-term contract, $13,200+taxes
    (estimated at 44 weeks, 10hr/week, 30$/hr)

Type of work: Remote
Us [About IMAA]
The Independent Media Arts Alliance (IMAA) is a member-driven non-profit national organization working to advance and strengthen the media arts community in Canada. Representing over 100 independent film, video, audio, and new media production, distribution, and exhibition organizations in all parts of the country, the IMAA serves over 16,000 independent media artists and cultural workers.

We [The Project]
Project Overview
interConnect is an initiative that aims to strengthen the digital practices of Canada’s visual and media arts sector. The project has two components:

1. Research: Study and document past digital transformation projects.

2. Co-learning cohorts: Organize communities of practice around digital issues.

The learnings and resources developed during this initiative will be disseminated in a knowledge base.

Context
interConnect comes from feedback among arts organizations that suggests that the Digital Strategy Fund’s (DSF) fundamental goals have yet to be fully met. While much important knowledge is being generated thanks to the Fund, the dissemination & concrete application of its results remain incomplete and unevenly distributed.

Within the fields of visual arts, media arts, digital arts & contemporary craft, the majority of organizations and artists have yet to benefit substantially from this work. A relatively limited number of media and other types of arts organizations across Canada are undergoing digital transformations and enhancing their effectiveness & sustainability in their respective communities. If these successes could be more widely shared, these transformative impacts would be amplified across the Canadian arts sector.

Preliminary project timeline
January 2023: Entry into position
February 2023: Establishment of cohort structure
March to April 2023: Selection of cohort participants
May to October 2023: Co-learning with cohorts

OUTSIDE LOOKING IN – CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

“Through experiential education that explores self-expression, embracing challenges, and shaping the journey to success, Outside Looking In supports and empowers Indigenous youth from high school to their career path of choice.”

The Organization—Outside Looking In
Established in 2007, Outside Looking In (OLI) is a national charity and Indigenous-led organization that supports and empowers Indigenous youth in their career path of choice. Offering opportunities to be actively engaged in the arts, OLI provides Indigenous youth with an outlet to be creative and to find a safe space where they can perform, learn, connect, be heard, and feel connected within their community. In turn, this encourages Indigenous youth to stay in school and complete their education.

Programs
As the organization faces unprecedented demand, OLI provides a full cycle of programs across Canada that assist and support youth from the Intermediate grades, through high school, post-secondary education and career preparation. OLI offers accredited Dance, Leadership, Work-Study, and Entrepreneurship programming to communities, organizations, Friendship Centres and Public-School Boards across Canada.
Along with academic support, OLI programs add value and key support for schools through:
• Providing structure and routine
• Creating a safe space for social interaction
• Promoting the importance of well-being and physical health
• Elevating aspirations and life goals
• Fostering a sense of belonging
• Instilling an appreciation for music and dance

All OLI programs are infused with the values and teachings of long-term commitment, accountability, responsibility, and perseverance. OLI’s approach to experiential learning—combining classroom time with regular dance rehearsals and instruction from a professional choreographer—offers participants a unique channel to showcase their talents and accomplishments. Overall, OLI graduates are living proof that an arts education can lead to greater confidence and a self-determined future.
Reconciliation
In addition, and on the path to Reconciliation, OLI offers Canadians with a safe place to learn about Indigenous Peoples, beyond what they see and read in the media. Recent story-telling initiatives have revived an Indigenous tradition while inviting non-Indigenous audiences to connect with the realities of OLI participants. In turn, OLI youth are able to learn more about what is happening outside of their communities and to get a glimpse of potential opportunities. Each spring, OLI’s Annual Showcase is held at Meridian Hall in downtown Toronto, the largest soft-seat theatre in Canada. The Annual Showcase, which is Canada's largest Indigenous youth performance, features youth from current participating communities and highlights the successes of program participants throughout the year. Audiences are invited to learn about the youth participating in the show as well as join in the celebration of their accomplishments.
Strategy
OLI’s Strategic Plan was recently refreshed, and its focus revolves around five interconnected goals, including:

• To achieve sustainable, operational excellence, that keeps pace with the organization’s growth
• To create a fundraising mission that resonates with all Canadians and reaches a broad and diverse audience through various marketing channels
• To offer rich and relevant programs to Indigenous youth that enhance life skills and empower self-confidence
• To entertain and educate through OLI's Annual Showcase, which transforms the lives of Indigenous youth and our audiences

GENOVESE VANDERHOOF & ASSOCIATES
A Cultural Management Consulting Firm

JOB OPPORTUNITY

Toronto, Ontario
Executive Director

The Toronto Consort invites applications and referrals for the position of Executive Director. 

Now in our 50th season we seek an articulate, visionary, and enthusiastic leader capable of expanding our live and digital performance reputation to new generations of listeners and artists, locally and globally. The ideal candidate will appreciate this distinctive repertoire as a vehicle for historical, cultural, and educational transformation, and have the savvy to optimize the next phase of our digital streaming service, Early Music TV.  Together with a revitalized organizational strategy, effective governance, and a loyal subscriber base, the new Executive Director will be in an enviable position to apply their exceptional people and performing arts administration skills to guide the Toronto Consort into its next golden age. 

The Toronto Consort:

Since its founding in 1972, the Toronto Consort has become internationally recognized for its excellence in the performance of medieval, Renaissance, and early Baroque music.  It is one of Canada’s most successful chamber ensembles.
Led by a collective of Artistic Associates, the group’s members are amongst
Canada’s leading Early Music specialists, both singers and instrumentalists.

The ensemble performs an annual subscription series at the Trinity-St. Paul’s Centre in Toronto and has toured on a frequent basis across Canada and internationally.  The Toronto Consort has 10 CDs to its credit, including two nominated for Juno Awards. 
Despite grappling with the issues faced by all arts organizations by the prolonged pandemic, The Toronto Consort was able to maximize creatively digital opportunities that have brought it new audiences both locally and around the world.

Launched in November of 2020, Early Music TV is an on-demand streaming platform.  With a world-class catalogue of Early Music masterpieces and free educational content, Early Music TV has been designed to engage a worldwide digital audience of music lovers and musicians. 

The Early Music Collaboration Lab focuses on shared learning opportunities for adults over the age of 65 and younger people aged 14 to 25. In addition there are many student/teacher resources available including a free concert series, in-school workshops for high school students, and more.

The Consort also offers free audience-engagement activities such as pre-concert lectures and the Explorer blog series, a way for the curious to discover Early Music.  

Unusual for an Early Music ensemble is the Consort’s commitment to contemporary Canadian works within its mandate.  Many celebrated Canadian composers have written pieces especially for the organization.

The Consort quite consciously works with artists from other disciplines in order to present Early Music in a fuller, more accessible context to contemporary audiences.  It has collaborated with such organizations as the Toronto International Film Festival, Luminato Festival Toronto, Tafelmusik, Soundstreams, Sampradaya Dance Creations, Nuit Blanche, Opera Atelier, and Doors Open.   

The Consort has produced a considerable amount of music for historical drama television series including The Tudors, The Borgias, and The Vikings, all produced by the cable network Showtime, and recorded the soundtrack for Atom Egoyan’s award-winning film, The Sweet Hereafter.

The Consort often creates its own editions and transcriptions of Early Music, as well as arrangements frequently involving considerable creative decision-making, as well as collaboration with diverse performers within Canada and beyond.  

The annual budget is approximately $700,000.

 

The Position of Executive Director:

Reporting to the Board of Directors and working collaboratively with the Artistic Associates, the Executive Director is responsible for the overall administrative, financial and daily operations of the Toronto Consort. The Executive Director takes a lead role in all of the organization’s activities and projects including budgeting, financial management, fund-raising, education and outreach program delivery, audience engagement and customer service, and community partnerships. 

A Director of Audience Engagement and Education, a Director of Development, the Front of House Manager, and a part-time bookkeeper report to this position, along with a number of on-going contract positions.  Ticketing services are provided by Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra’s box office with the Tessitura software. 

Qualifications:

The ideal candidate will have previous experience in a performing arts organization, some background in not for profit arts management, and a university degree in music/arts and/or business management or equivalent experience in arts administration. 

The new Executive Director will have a strategic growth mindset and excellent analytical, financial and organizational skills.  Other necessary characteristics would include political savvy and diplomacy, good oral and written communication skills, a track record in community participation and partnership, and experience in leading and developing people.  Proven capability in fund-raising, working with individuals, foundations, and corporations, as well as government funders, is imperative. 

Knowledge of concert production is important as the Executive Director has oversight responsibility—in collaboration with the Artistic Associates--for contracting artistic and technical personnel, insurance coverage, service agreements, rights and royalties, as well as working with tour presenters and the American Federation of Musicians.    

The Executive Director in collaboration with the Artistic Associates and the Board represents the Toronto Consort to the public, the media, donors, funders, and other community stakeholders. The Director must be able to establish and maintain effective working relationships with staff, artists, board members, artist managers, other arts groups, sponsors, educational institutions, volunteers, and the audience. 

We seek an intuitive listener and synthesizer of ideas and possibilities, a person inspired to leverage their business acumen with a passion for the performing arts, helping to facilitate the Toronto Consort’s present success and future growth.

Compensation:  $75,000 – $90,000.  Help with relocation expenses could be discussed.

Director- North Vancouver Museum and Archives

Organization
The North Vancouver Museum and Archives (NVMA) is mandated to collect and preserve the artifacts, documents, and photographs that reflect and celebrate the rich ancient cultures, histories, industries, residents, and diverse communities that are North Vancouver. The NVMA operates two facilities: the Museum of North Vancouver (MONOVA) located in Lower Lonsdale, and the Archives of North Vancouver located in Lynn Valley. Together, these two world class facilities tell the past, present, and future North Vancouver stories.

MONOVA opened its new state-of-the-art facility in December 2021. MONOVA offers engaging multimedia exhibits, innovative programming, and access to valuable community records and artifacts. The museum also hosts a rich variety of online exhibits that compliments its in-person programming.

Educational programming is an important part of the NVMA mandate. MONOVA hosts field trips for groups ranging from pre-school through adults, and complimentary educational materials have been developed for classroom use, with options for elementary school to high school-aged students. Both MONOVA and the Archives host regular in-person and online events, including film screenings and performances, scholarly talks and personal histories, and cultural showcases.

NVMA is governed by an 11-member Commission, 10 of which are appointed by the two North Vancouver municipalities that provide the majority of funding to the NVMA: the District of North Vancouver and the City of North Vancouver.
