Director of Community Arts Centers (Center Director)
Youth Art Exchange’s (YAX) Director of Community Arts Centers (Center Director) is a dynamic, hands-on leadership role responsible for overseeing our youth and community arts center locations in the Excelsior and Mission Districts. Each art center is located on the ground floor of 100% affordable housing. They feature gallery and event spaces, a photography darkroom, music recording studio, a printshop, fashion studio, classroom spaces, and more. This is an exciting stage for YAX as we are now focusing on building out robust programming and operations to support these vibrant centers and to further YAX as a leader in innovative arts programming. YAX’s work is centered on racial equity, and that will be critical to all aspects of this position.
This position requires a creative and organized individual who is passionate about arts education and community engagement. The Center Director will oversee our youth and community programming and operations of our centers and extension work in San Francisco. The Center Director is also a public spokesperson for all YAX programs and our mission. The role demands the ability to balance long-term initiatives and visioning with day-to-day operations, work collaboratively with staff, teaching artists and partners, and create a welcoming environment for youth and the broader community.
Interested candidates should submit a resume and cover letter center@youthartexchange.org with the subject line “Last Name”- Application Materials. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled with the first review of candidates on April 30th. Please note, no relocation costs will be provided.
YAX is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace and encourages applications from individuals of all backgrounds, particularly those from communities historically underrepresented in the arts.
