Cultural Pluralism in the Arts Movement Ontario (CPAMO) is seeking new Board Members!

CPAMO is a movement of Indigenous and racialized artists working to advance equity, access, and pluralism in the arts across Ontario. 

We are looking for individuals who are passionate about the arts, community engagement, and equity-based work, and who are interested in contributing their skills, experience and perspectives to support our mission. This volunteer role is a meaningful opportunity to contribute to the arts community and build/share professional skills. While our call is open to all, we encourage interest from the IBPOC community.  

We welcome a variety of skill sets, including but not limited to human resources, strategic planning, governance, communications, financial management, fundraising and grant development, legal knowledge, technology, and administration. Board members are expected to attend 4–5 meetings via Zoom per year and dedicate a few hours each month to committee work.

Want to support equity in the arts and work with other dynamic individuals?  If you are interested in joining the Board, please send your resume and a short paragraph about yourself and your interest in the role to Erin Jones, Co-Director and Curator of Transformational Change, at education@cpamo.org
