Description
Jack Straw Cultural Center is now accepting applications for the 28th year of the Jack Straw Writers Program, with Curator Nisi Shawl. To date, the program has included more than 300 writers from the Pacific Northwest and beyond who represent a diverse range of literary genres. Each year, an invited curator selects 12 participants.
The purpose of the Jack Straw Writers Program is to introduce writers to the medium of recorded audio; to develop their presentation skills for both live and recorded readings; to encourage the creation of new literary work; to present the writers and their work in live readings, in an anthology, on the web, and on the radio; and to build community among writers.
Participating writers are presented in live readings, in the printed Jack Straw Writers Anthology; and on the web and radio. Each year an invited curator selects the participating writers from a large pool of applicants based foremost on artistic excellence. Writers receive training in vocal presentation, performance, and microphone technique to prepare them for public readings, interviews, and studio recording. Their recorded readings and interviews with the curator are then used to produce programs for SoundPages, our literary podcast, and for selected radio broadcast.
The Writers Program requires participants to be on-site at Jack Straw Cultural Center for a number of small-group activities, such as an introductory orientation, workshops for microphone/voice technique and live performance, in-studio interview session with the program curator, and live readings - pending any necessary adjustments due to COVID-19 or other emergencies. Most of these activities take place between January and June. Additional Writers Program readings will take place around the community throughout the year, including a final reading with all of the writers in November. Work appearing in the Jack Straw Writers Anthology may not be previously published material, and any subsequent publication of this work must acknowledge the Jack Straw Writers Program.

Nationally recognized for our work in creating dynamic, community-driven exhibitions and programs, we put our community at the heart of each exhibition we create.

Our 60,000 square foot facilities offer three floors to tell our communities’ stories, with contemporary galleries showcasing both temporary and permanent exhibitions as well as preserved historic spaces accessible only through our daily guided tours.

From restaurants to statues that you might not otherwise notice, there are layers of history and significance that are waiting to be uncovered.

Description
In our next exhibit, in recognition of the fading light and return of the rains, CoCA celebrates the diverse Spirit(s) of the Season.
Numerous cultures honor the veil between life and death, between this world and the next. CoCA itself has recently risen from the dead. Whether it’s the Celtic SAMHAIN, HALLOW’S EVE, ALL SOULS or the Hispanic DIA DE LOS MUERTOS, the Hero Twins who journey to Xibalba and back in Mayan cosmology, or even Stingy Jack and his carved Turnip, all pay tribute to those who’ve passed and the thin line that divides us. Perhaps it’s worth keeping in mind that while “..discensus ad Advernus facile est…” (Latin saying, ‘the descent to the Underworld is easy’), the return to light can be difficult (Orpheus and Eurydice).
Please submit your interpretation of such realms of the netherworld and their commemorative festivities, be they “tricks or treats” like masks, urns, reliquaries, hourglasses, bells and sound, neon, compost, ouija boards, joss paper sculptures, obsidian mirrors, textile, encaustic, Dorian Gray portraits, spirit photography, etc., in any media consistent with the limits of CoCA’s modest 650 sq. ft. gallery in Pioneer Square. Too many options? The theme can also be simplified to contrasting elements of light and dark. De-extinction as a process. Abstraction is welcome. Bonus points for work that reflects cultural traditions beyond the mainstream.
Organized Mischief is open to emerging and established artists in any location (shipping to be paid by artist).
How to Apply
To be considered, submit the following by the deadline of Sunday October 8 at midnight to submissions@cocaseattle.org with subject line “OM”:

Please attach individually and not in a zip file which we must then painstakingly open to transfer files. Label with last name, underscore, and number, e.g., Smithson_01, etc.
· Artist statement with specific reference to theme, 150 words or less
· Artist Bio, 150 words or less
Submissions will be juried by CoCA with the following selection criteria:

· Connection to theme
· Feasibility for exhibition in small gallery space with up to 20+ other artists, lighting requirements, audio visual requirements,

In 2023, we added a Resident Company model that provides dedicated resources and space to three of Seattle’s most awesome companies (Noveltease Theatre, Pork Filled Productions, and Reboot Theatre).
In addition, our board of directors is embarking on a transition from a working board to a fundraising-focused board, and our fearless founding Executive Director is retiring after 18 years at the helm. We are looking for an Executive Director that can lead us into this new world.
Our Mission
Theatre Off Jackson (TOJ) is located in Seattle’s historic Chinatown-International District with deep roots in the community. We help to maintain a vital and diverse arts culture in Seattle by amplifying the voices of underrepresented artists and marginalized groups. We offer and operate an affordable venue dedicated to performance, art, and community, and provide a safe space for artists to share their stories.
Our Values
● We believe in empowering artists to tell their unique stories and the stories of our community.
● We believe we can help artists develop and flourish by providing an environment where taking risks and trying new things is encouraged.
● We believe that performance shouldn’t break the bank - artistic performance should be affordable for artists and audiences.
● We believe that building pathways to opportunity requires broad, systemic change and TOJ wants to be part of this change in the Seattle arts community.
● We believe that our stages and audiences should reflect the rich diversity of Seattle and surrounding areas.
● And finally, we believe in unicorns.
Your Role
As the Executive Director, you will be responsible for the overall management and administration of Theatre Off Jackson, including revenue and expenses, human resources and staff supervision, public relations, and board relations. You will report to, and work closely with, the board of directors to develop and carry out a strategic plan that ensures TOJ’s long-term viability with an emphasis on building greater community connections. Your success will be measured by your ability to grow audiences, improve artist satisfaction, ensure the financial sustainability of the organization by increasing the volume of donations and donors, expand the diversity of our board and staff, manage a landlord relationship, and continue building a community where everyone is safe and welcome.
What You Bring
Because TOJ is in a time of reinvention, we believe the value and mission aligned fit is just as important as finding a candidate that has experience with the outlined responsibilities. TOJ’s board and staff will work with the new ED to determine who does what – what matters to us is that the ED has the skills to lead us into the next chapter.
You have a passion for the arts. You believe art should be accessible and affordable for artists and audiences alike. At TOJ, you’ll work closely with our curatorial team to curate an array of artists and performers that reflect the communities we serve. You will focus on building our partnerships with our Resident companies and Co-Producers.
You are a builder. You’re a builder of teams, of relationships, of community. Wherever you go, you aim to build something durable. From establishing more sustainable revenue sources to creating opportunities that provide growth and stability for team members, you understand that true success is determined by how well it stands the test of time.
You are a leader. You lead a team of passionate operations, marketing, and tech staff. You demonstrate leadership through your actions and in how you treat others. You make tough decisions and ensure compliance with policies and processes. You’re leading the team to build TOJ’s future and that means you aren’t afraid to experiment and try new ideas. You’re also a strategist who can plan one, if not two, moves ahead.
You are a storyteller. You imagine what could be and paint a picture of that vision to inspire others to join you on the journey. Whether it’s marketing and brand awareness, donor relations and fundraising, or volunteer recruitment and hiring, you’ll tell our story to artists, donors, audiences, staff, and volunteers in a way that honors TOJ’s legacy and inspires investment and participation in its future.
You are anti-racist and pro-justice. You’ve created successful programs and initiatives that led to improvements in the areas of diversity, equity, inclusion, and access. You understand that people hold multiple identities and bring an intersectional approach to your work. At TOJ, you’ll be building off its rich history as a space that has been inclusive of LGBTQIA+ communities since its inception as a partnership between Northwest Asian American Theater and Alice B. Theatre. You’ll continue to feature diverse artists and grow our presence in the International District, a predominantly Asian American community. You’ll ensure TOJ is a safe and inclusive space where all are welcome. You’ll further our efforts in growing and diversifying our board.
You can grow support for TOJ. You see the opportunities in doing less with more and operating in a lean environment. You’re well versed in what it takes to get the job done. You have experience with preparing and submitting grant applications, developing and maintaining both board and donor relations, partnering with community organizations, and forming coalitions to move things forward.
You are a unicorn. If you believe that artists and producers create magic through resourcefulness, risk-taking, and creativity; and that art has the power to change the world, then you’re a unicorn. At TOJ, we not only believe in unicorns, we embrace them - and we hope you do, too.
Please note that these qualifications and requirements are not intended to exclude any candidates but rather give candidates an idea of what skills and abilities would help them excel in this position. You don’t have to meet all requirements and qualifications to apply if you believe you have the skill, experience, and passion to do this job.
We offer a flexible work environment. TOJ doesn’t have specific office hours. However, there are times you will need to be on site to fulfill your work duties. As a result, TOJ is looking for a candidate who is based in or around the Seattle area.
Experience with technical theater, Google Suite, Mailchimp, customer relationship management, bookkeeping, budgeting, change management, and either supervision and/or team building is helpful but not required.
TOJ currently doesn’t have a COVID vaccination policy. All current staff are fully vaccinated.
