PRESIDENT & CEO, South Arts

The incoming CEO faces the critical mission of stabilizing the organization both in the short and long term, as the arts nationwide faces a myriad of challenges, including the loss of significant funding and investment in the field. This leader must ensure South Arts’ continued positioning as a critical partner to artists, constituents, partners and communities served through its work while adapting its strategies as needed to stay ahead of current and emerging economic, political, and cultural developments of 2025 and beyond.

Working closely with the Board, staff and a diverse group of partners, the CEO will be responsible for shaping the future of South Arts. This includes the implementation of its new strategic plan, adapting and rethinking the current business model to ensure future sustainability, diversifying revenue streams, identifying new ways to serve its constituents, promoting all avenues for impact in the sector, advocating for the arts and artists at large and fostering growth through visibility, engagement and thought leadership in the sector.

Additionally, the CEO will oversee – and build strong connections between – South Arts’ partners and grantees and its full scope of offerings, programming, and the communities it serves through authentic engagement, mutually beneficial partnerships and collaborations, and by advocating for South Arts and its offerings in a variety of public setting.

As the primary spokesperson and high-visibility ambassador of South Arts, the CEO will engage local and state arts agencies, artistic and cultural organizations, policymakers, artists, educational institutions, donors and funders, civic groups, businesses, the media, and the public. In support of members, partners, and the broader arts community, the CEO is charged with realizing South Arts’ role as a convener, connector, coach and capacity builder in the field. The CEO will embrace the opportunity to continue to serve as a thought leader in these areas, particularly South Arts’ role as a bridge to a web of support that strengthens the entire arts ecosystem.
