ART JOB: BECA Executive Director

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!DOLLARS for DINING

I spend more money on food than I do on all of my household expenses combined.  How?  I have a day job.  It isn’t art related, but I like it and seem to be good at it.  Having a day job takes the pressure off my creative process so that I can create without sales pressure.  However, I am working on a 10-year plan that will allow me to quit my day job.  But, if I had a day job that was art-related, I might keep on working far past another ten years.  Here’s YOUR opportunity for an art job.  Take a look…

Check out this Job Opportunity from The BECA Foundation  in New Mexico for the Executive Director position.  If you’ve got to have a job outside of creating art, why not have a job that is fueled by your passion for art?  Take a chance.  The possibility of rejection is certainly worth the chance of reward…

*Editor’s Note:  I feel the need to confess that I need one of you to apply for and land this job quickly because I REALLY want it, and my family would strangle me if I suggested we move to New Mexico after having just moved my family to Tennessee a mere four years ago.

ART JOB:
BECA Executive Director

 

Check out the BECA Foundation online!THE BACK STORY:  In October of 2007, BECA Co-founders/Directors Melissa Roberts and Kurt Schlough hatched a unique experimental arts project that would give new access to exhibition opportunities to creatives without regard to their academic degree status, exhibition history, who they knew or where they were from.  It has remained the only exhibition program in the Unites States that which maintains this submission criteria while utilizing the only consistent blind curatorial review process in the world. The unique programming went one step further in that it was the first international exhibition program in the United States that which focused on created opportunities for both artists and designers alike. 

Now that the difficult groundwork of BECA programming has been laid, it is time for BECA Co-Founders/Directors to pursue their other passions while remaining connected to BECA programming by serving on its developing Board of Directors.

Remember when ice cream treats came 12 to a box?  Then it was 10.  Then 8.  Now I pay $4.99 for a box of 6.  Does that mean I’ll quit eating ice cream?  Unlikely.  I think this is the same psychology behind cigarette tax too, ha.  Well, at least eggs still come by the dozen. (We won’t even discuss Eggland’s Best new 1/2 dozen cartons.)  Twelve is the perfect number for this next Call too.  A flink to be exact…
