Foci Minnesota Center for Glass Art is expanding its Board of Directors! Foci (pronounced foh-sigh) MCGA, located in the Seward neighborhood of Minneapolis, has a mission to "gather people together to explore the creative potential of glass art ". Our programming upholds the mission by providing opportunities to quality artistic learning and studio facilities that serve all experience levels from enthusiasts to professional glass artists.

Foci MCGA's Board of Directors is a governing board that relies on the unique experiences and skills of board members to help support the mission and strategic direction of the organization. We are seeking a diverse pool of board candidates with varied experience and expertise.

Foci MCGA is specifically seeking individuals with experience in fundraising/development, marketing, non-profit governance, and accounting. Connections to Twin Cities’ corporations and businesses is a plus.
