Transmission Project

119 Gallery seeks an individual to lead the expansion and development of the organization’s marketing, outreach and community building activities so we can reach and serve a larger population. Utilizing multiple communication venues, we will develop a solid strategic communications plan to inform our community members of offerings and engage them in programming. The Gallery’s robust programs of events, education, and exhibits draw a steady crowd of artists, community members, and young people. It has a number of systems (both operational and technical) in place to handle the strategic communications of the organization, but they are fragmented and lack focus. The CTC VISTA member would design and create a cohesive system that will more effectively leverage the organizations skills and capacities to engage and educate our community members.

· Assess organization’s current outreach, marketing and communication activities with strategic communications in mind

· Assess organization’s current communication infrastructure (web, email, social networks, print, mail, press)

· Gather member input into strategic communication needs

· Establish networking and outreach and shared communications with collaborating organizations.

· Research and recommend new processes for integrating and redesiging in a more efficient and strategic manner the organization’s outreach, marketing and communications activities with an eye toward greater community impact and involvement

· Design and implement this new strategic communications plan

· Create a set of evaluation metrics and benchmarks that will enable the organization to track is progress

· Train interns, volunteers and staff in the effective use of and maintainence of the new communications system

· Provide additional strategic input and staffing support for all gallery programmatic areas, including Identifying and meeting with community organizations that share our mission and constituency.
