We are looking for individuals to join our organization's board of directors. The Board will support the work of Westchester Square Art Center (W2AC) and provide mission-based leadership and strategic governance. While day-to-day operations are led by W2AC's executive director (CEO), the Board-CEO relationship is a partnership, and the appropriate involvement of the Board is both critical and expected. Specific Board Member responsibilities include:
- Serving as a trusted advisor to the CEO as he develops and implements W2AC's strategic plan
- Reviewing program impact and measuring its performance and effectiveness
- Approving W2AC's annual budget
- Contributing to an annual performance evaluation of the CEO
- Assisting the CEO and board chair in identifying and recruiting other board members
- Representing W2AC to stakeholders; acting as an ambassador for the organization
- Ensuring W2AC's commitment to a diverse board and staff that reflects the communities it serves
- W2AC board members will consider W2AC's mission a priority and make annual gifts that reflect that priority
- W2AC expects to have 100 percent of Board Members make an annual contribution that is commensurate with their capability
This is ideal for an individual that has a sincere and dedicated interest in helping a small non-profit art organization grow. If you are interested, please email your resume and a brief cover letter to w2acorg@gmail.com or call (718) 684-4589 to schedule an interview.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Westchester Square Art Center is to engage the large creative population of youth residing in the Bronx, in negotiating, competing and achieving success in the field of visual arts. The Westchester Square Art Center provides a state of the art, multi-discipline visual arts academy experience to those artists residing in the community of the Bronx. W2AC offers a total art experience encountered only by those in the profession. The target customer is the serious secondary, high school and college student with artistic potential seeking an introduction into the field of art. An established artist may require a daily studio space to complete a project or a senior artist may require professional training to improve their skills. The Westchester Square Art Center will provide unique and personal attention to each of these groups.
Description
We are a Bronx based not-for-profit organization, dedicated to exposing our students to the world of professional art and increasing their artistic skills. Specializing in traditional art training for both adults and children, our goal is to elevate artists to new levels of learning and creativity. We not only guide our students through the creation of art (drawing, painting, design), but offer an extensive background in historic and contemporary art. As we are community-based, exposing our students to the cultural richness of the Bronx and the visual opportunities it may inspire, is at the heart of W2AC.
