The Wallis is seeking an inclusive and inspiring leader and arts educator who is passionate about the role of multi-disciplinary performing arts education and arts engagement for people of all ages and experiences, inspired by the opportunity to build upon an excellent reputation while helping to strengthen and grow programs well into the future.  Reporting to the Executive Director & CEO, this will be only the second person to hold the Director of Education role since The Wallis opened.  Although the successful candidate will most likely have leadership experience in multi-disciplinary arts education or other educational enterprises within a performing arts or cultural institution, it is also possible that the individual could come from another career background and demonstrate an acumen in contemporary educational methods and philosophies, knowledge of creative program design and possess a compelling passion for arts education.  The successful candidate will articulate a strong commitment to and understanding of diversity, equity, inclusion, and access; will demonstrate a high level of cultural responsiveness, effectively incorporating DEIA into all aspects of their work; and will work productively across lines of difference.  The salary range is $125,000 to $150,000 annually.
