Want to help set the direction of the Burnaby Art Gallery?
The gallery is looking for volunteers to serve on its advisory committee, an appointed body of volunteers that acts at arm's length to help the director-curator in the development of the gallery with respect to its programming and collection.
The gallery is looking to replace four current members who are stepping down: Matthew Coyne, Karen Murtagh, Darlene Gering and Keith Rice-Jones.
New members will join existing members Lance Matricardi, of the City of Burnaby's parks, recreation and cultural services commission; Torrie Groening, an artist; an Aldous Lam of Rosewood Printers.
Those who apply should have relevant experience or knowledge, abilities and skills related to the work of the committee. Preference will be given to those who live or work in Burnaby or have a "significant body of experience" with cultural and civic issues.
Applicants can be self-nominated or nominated by organizations.
The appointments are for two years, and those who apply should be able to serve the full term.
Nominations must be submitted by Nov. 30. Qualified applicants will be notified in December, with interviews in January.
The first meeting for new members will be held Feb. 18, and the committee will meet six times annually on the third Tuesday of the month.
For more information, contact the gallery at 604-297-4422.
