Artistic Director
The Otago Festival of the Arts celebrates the excellent and the extra-ordinary in the performing, visual and related arts, and has attracted international and national artists of the highest calibre. Local performers and artists are also well represented in every programme. The Festival operates on a current budget of $1million and has a stable and successful financial history.
Up until now the Otago Festival of the Arts has been run by a sole charge Director with responsibility for all programming, contracting, budgeting, sponsorship and business partnerships, funding, accounting and strategic development. Additional Marketing and Production staff have been contracted for the five months leading up to the Festival. With the resignation of the current Director, the Board has decided to appoint an Artistic Director, and will base future staffing decisions on the skills and experience of the successful candidate.
Must have extensive experience in the performing arts industry; plus contractual, budgetary and marketing expertise.

Otago Festival of The ArtsThe Otago Festival of the Arts Trust was established in 1999 to present a biannual arts festival for Dunedin and the Greater Otago Region. There are two simple catch phrases that encapsulate the artistic vision of the festival: "celebrating the excellent and the extra-ordinary" and "a boutique festival in a boutique city".
The Festival takes place over 10 days and features more than 50 unique national and international arts and culture events and more than 100 performances and presentations. Events range in genre and discipline including theatre, dance, music, visual arts and mixed media.
Since the inaugural season in 2000 the Festival has continued to strive towards artistic excellence while building a sustainable and manageable event. 2012 will mark the seventh season of the Otago Festival of the Arts. We are very proud to have always remained fiscally solvent while continuing to offer a diverse and high-quality range of arts events that are accessible, well-attended and loyally supported by Dunedin and Otago communities.
