GREEN ARTS BARNS
COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
FINAL CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR
GREEN ARTS BARN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
REMINDER: APPLICATIONS ARE DUE MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2007
Artscape is inviting applications for appointment to The Green Arts Barns Community Association Board of Directors. The Green Arts Barns has been conceived as a dynamic community-driven space, a home for experimentation and innovation, a place where people from all walks of life will come together to make their community a better place to live, work and play.
The deadline for submission is Monday, December 10, 2007 at 4:00 p.m.
The management and governance framework for the Green Arts Barns like the project itself is designed to promote synergy, collaboration and community engagement. By combining the resources and expertise of Artscape with the voluntary stewardship, entrepreneurship and creativity of the Green Arts Barns tenants and community stakeholders in the neighbourhood, it will allow the project to benefit from the commitment and connections of local stakeholders and also ensure sound operational and fiscal management.
To facilitate strong local governance from the outset, the initial steps to create an independent non-profit organization, with a duly constituted Board of Directors, that will assume the stewardship of the Covered Street Barn and the Community Gallery are being undertaken. This organization will be known as the Green Arts Barns Community Association.
The Green Arts Barns Community Association will manage, operate and govern The Covered Street Barn and The Community Gallery space.
Located at 76 Wychwood Avenue, south of St. Clair and west of Bathurst, Artscape’s Green Arts Barns will transform Toronto’s historic Wychwood TTC Streetcar Repair Barns into a 60,000 square foot multi-tenant arts, environmental and community centre. The Green Arts Barns will employ green technology and be the first heritage building in Toronto to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification.
The deadline for submission is Monday, December 10, 2007 at 4:00 p.m.
