Artistic Director

Workman Arts is a multidisciplinary arts organization that promotes a greater understanding of mental health and addiction issues through creation and presentation. The organization supports artists living with mental health and addiction issues through peer-to-peer arts education, public presentations and partnerships with the broader arts community.
Workman Arts is the longest-running multidisciplinary arts and mental health organization in Canada. It was founded in 1987 by Lisa Brown, a former psychiatric nurse at the Queen Street Mental Health Centre (now known as CAMH), as a theatre company of eight member artists.
Over the years, it has grown to a multidisciplinary arts organization with 500+ member artists. For 35 groundbreaking years, Workman Arts has produced a variety of projects, including: 30+ original full-length Canadian plays, the annual Rendezvous with Madness Festival and the annual Being Scene juried art exhibition.
It is within this context that Workman Arts welcomes applications and nominations for its newly created position of Artistic Director (AD).
Reporting to the Executive Director, the AD is responsible for interpreting the artistic mission of Workman Arts through the development, oversight, and presentation of all artistic programming, events, and creative partnerships. This includes ensuring the year-round fulfillment of the organization’s creative mandate through educational courses and workshops and signature initiatives, such as the Rendezvous with Madness film festival and Being Scene art exhibition.
The AD will build strong relationships with artists, staff, volunteers and a wide range of community partners, and cultivate partnerships across the arts, mental health and addictions sectors to build community, support members, and raise the profile of the arts, within this intersection of mental health and addictions. In doing so, they will stay informed of local, national, and international art, mental health, and addiction issues.

Your experience includes planning, organizing, and executing layered artistic aspects of production and presentation techniques across multiple disciplines; festival and events or equivalent arts experience is necessary. You have proven ability to create and manage project specific budgets with clear adherence to global budgets.
As a credible advocate and exceptional communicator, you can confidently engage with funders, various levels of government, partners, stakeholders, the media, the public, national and global audiences, and meaningfully speak to creative arts as well as mental health and addiction issues. Candidates must have a demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility, anti-racist and anti-oppressive frameworks, and trauma informed approaches.
