Prologue’s Program Advisory Committee

Program Committee Call Opportunity

Prologue Performing Arts is looking to bring together education, arts, and community members to provide input and expertise on the artists and artist companies that Prologue welcomes to our company of artists each year. We need members to help us review and provide their feedback on artist applications, advise on the development of artist offerings, and advocate for Prologue within the community.

Based on the needs of the organization and the strategic initiatives outlined above, we welcome candidates with experience in artistic production, curation, education, e-learning, human resources, cultural studies, and digital media, however Prologue is particularly interested in all candidates that have a passion for arts education and supporting an organization that strives to grow every year with new and exciting opportunities.
Committee members include Board and staff members, and representatives from the broader community that are selected by the Chair of the Committee and the Executive Director for their desire to ensure young people experience the arts in the classrooms and their communities.

A Board member will chair the Program Committee and report to the Board of Directors, as required.
