INTRODUCTION TO ORGANIZATION

Gallery Gachet is excited to announce the recruitment of their Programming Coordinator. We are a thriving, collaboratively run arts production, education and presentation space located in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, on Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh territory. We support participants as artists, educators and curators. Through artistic means we aim to demystify and challenge issues related to mental health and discrimination, in order to educate the public and promote social and economic justice. We believe that the expression and practice of art and active participation in culture-building is a human right, and that art and culture are critical elements of a healthy society. More »
