The Fishers Arts Council is looking for residents with a passion for the arts to join its board of directors. Applications are due Dec. 14.
The nonprofit’s mission is to support, advocate for and cultivate visual and performing arts opportunities that educate, enhance or enrich the lives of people who live, work and visit Fishers.
FAC says it wants applicants who can give two to three hours a month to promote and grow public and private art in the city. That time can go to meetings, serving on art juries or volunteering at art events. Board members are also expected to help put events on.
The council calls itself a working board. Members take active roles in its programs and support its part-time executive director.
Les Reinhardt, FAC’s executive director, joined the board in 2018 and served as its treasurer.
“Over the past eight and a half years I’ve witnessed an incredible variety of projects, events, and exhibits, thanks to the talented and creative people we have on our team,” Reinhardt said. “If you have a passion for the arts and are willing to lend a hand to make it happen, I strongly encourage you to apply for the board of directors.”
