West Coast Creatives Salon: Bookkeeper/Treasurer

The West Coast Creatives Salon is a Vancouver-based registered nonprofit organization of preprofessional and professional artists from diverse backgrounds (poetry, music, visual art) finding inspiration through sharing, discussing, and celebrating our artistic endeavors. We host monthly salons, as well as larger exhibitions featuring local and international artists.

Our organization has two mandates. The first is to support early career artistic professionals from all disciplines by giving them a platform to feature and discuss their works, opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations, as well as masterclasses and career guidance from experienced artists. The second is to build an inclusive community of contemporary art followers by effective curation and public education on our current artistic practices.
