Seeking committed individuals to work with ACAC in various roles
The Arlington Commission for Arts & Culture seeks residents, business owners and nonprofit leaders who are passionate about the arts. Bringing together several previously separate cultural entities including Arlington Cultural Council, Arlington Public Art, Artlinks, and Poet Laureate, ACAC promotes and develops arts and culture programs, events, and resources, in order to create a sustainable and vibrant arts scene that engages and attracts artists, residents, businesses and visitors. The Core Commission generally meets one evening each month; additional periodic subcommittee meetings are held around such activities as grant-making, fundraising, public art installations, performance programs and festivals, artist networking and development, destination marketing and communications, and Arlington Cultural District planning. ACAC especially seeks both Commissioners and subcommittee members willing to volunteer their skills in the areas of fundraising and development, grant-making, digital media or marketing. ACAC strives to expand access to and promote cultural equity in the arts, and to have Committee membership reflecting the diversity of our town.
We welcome volunteers of all walks and interests who love to see the arts and culture flourish in tour town, but have specific needs for people with experience and interest in the following roles:
Marketing Committee: Help with messaging and communications for ACAC, contribute to ArtsArlington.org and social media channels, promote live arts events townwide, contribute to destination marketing campaigns, more.
