Executive Director

The Make.Shift Board of Directors is actively conducting a search for a new Executive Director in the hope of filing the role by early 2026. The position is full-time and oversees day-to-day operations, leads new fundraising efforts, and steers strategic planning and visioning for the organization. This is an excellent opportunity for a creative community leader, arts administrator, or development professional who is committed to supporting emerging artists and musicians. The Board plans to review candidate applications in late November and will begin the interview process shortly after.

Make.Shift empowers, supports, and creates opportunities for local artists and musicians in Whatcom and Skagit Counties. We prioritize marginalized and underrepresented creatives. Make.Shift comprises an all-ages art gallery and music venue, affordable art studios and band practice spaces, weekly workshops, and a low-power community radio station, KZAX 94.9 FM.

At Make.Shift, we want to live in a world where art is essential, music is life, and weirdos are always welcome!
