Executive Director Assistant

*About us* The JCC is a 58-year-old foundation dedicated to the arts, culture, and civic engagement in downtown Jaffrey, NH, the gateway to the Monadnock region.
The Center hosts regional art exhibits as well as curated and invitational exhibitions featuring professional and community artists.
The Center also seeks to engage more music, performing and alternative artists to help fulfill its position as a multi-arts center.
In addition to its arts programming, the Center hosts art and music education, yoga, and other classes and community programs.
The Center has two distinct gallery spaces, a large classroom/studio and a meeting room which can accommodate a multitude of activities.
The JCC’s ample front lawn has played host to public theater, farmer’s markets, a fall festival, and community events.
The JCC also hosts the Jaffrey Historical Society, which has part of their collection on exhibit at the center.
A beloved local institution, the JCC is at the heart of the community.
*Significant Opportunity* The JCC is at a turning point.
With the closing of the Sharon Arts Center in Peterborough, NH, the JCC has an opportunity to further its arts and cultural mission and become a preeminent venue for regional artists who want to show, perform, or enhance their artistic discipline.
Furthermore, Jaffrey itself is developing as a cultural mecca, with the sparkling Park Theatre across the street andthe Jaffrey Library located next door.
Our newly appointed Executive Director is planning on charting a fresh course which will energize a community spirit to strengthen participation in the Center.
Our Executive Director needs assistance in bringing this to fruition.
*What the JCC Needs Today* While most of the work to be carried out will take place during regular working hours, the Executive Director’s Assistant should expect to work some evening and weekend hours, due to reception openings and events.
Travel is expected to be predominantly regional, and a current driver’s license is required.
The gallery is open to the public W-F Noon-5PM, Sat 10AM-2PM.
