Gallery Gachet stands at a transformative moment in its history. From recent renovations to the
expansion of our programming, this period marks a significant shift in how we continue to
grow, adapt, and serve our communities. None of this work would be possible without the care,
labour, and vision of our Board of Directors, whose stewardship has sustained the organization
across its rich and evolving history.
We are currently seeking new board members for the 2026–2028 term to help guide Gallery
Gachet into its next chapter , strengthening our role as a vital voice in contemporary and
experimental art, while continuing to operate as a community-rooted space in Vancouver’s
Downtown Eastside and Chinatown.
Our work centers BIPOC artists, artists living with mental health experiences, emerging and
experimental practitioners, and those working at the core of critical engagement with the
urgent social and political conditions of our time. We remain committed to art grounded in lived
experience , where artistic growth, care, and cultural production function not only as
expression, but as survival, resistance, and collective transformation.
We welcome applicants from a wide range of backgrounds, including artists, social workers,
and individuals with experience in mental health, community-based practice, governance,
finance, or organizational leadership. We are especially open to younger and emerging arts
workers who are interested in learning more about non-profit governance and contributing
meaningfully to the cultural sector.
Board service involves an average time commitment of approximately four hours per month,
including meetings and occasional committee participation. Gallery Gachet offers professional
development support for board members as part of our commitment to shared learning,
growth, and collective stewardship.
If you are invested in the role art can play within community, care, and social transformation,
we warmly encourage you to apply.
Applications are open until March 20, 2026.
