The Sierra County Arts Council (SCAC) is a small, rural non-profit agency based in Downieville, CA. The Arts Council is largely volunteer-based, but receives some funding from the California Arts Council, foundations, memberships, donations, and ticket sales.
The SCAC is looking for an energetic and creative Executive Director to develop program, grow the budget, supervise volunteers, and generally represent the Arts Council to the community. While this position will initially be part-time (due to budget constraints), the Arts Council expects the Executive Director position to grow into a full-time commitment.

The Executive Director reports to the Board of Directors and is responsible for all material resources belonging to the SCAC. The position is based in Downieville, although the Executive Director is expected to serve the entire county.
As the Executive Director will serve all of Sierra County and must interface with external agencies, some travel will be required as part of this position.
