119 Electronic Media Arts Inc

911 Electronic Media Arts Inc dba 119 Gallery is a 501(c)(3) educational corporation. The mission of 119 Gallery is to expand our community's vision of creative possibilities through exposure to contemporary and new media art, innovative ideas and cutting-edge techniques. The gallery offers a rich and diverse program of exhibitions, performances and community-based arts services; and welcomes people of all ages, backgrounds and means to explore, engage, and experience new, innovative art. We actively partner and collaborate with local, national, and international artists and organizations.
Founded in 1992, 911 Gallery first opened its doors at 911 E Main Street in Indianapolis, IN. It gained worldwide recognition in 1994 when it became one of the first art galleries to exhibit artwork on the World Wide Web. Its exhibits have been published in print media including ARTnews, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Art New England, The Boston Globe, and the Lowell Sun.
In July 2005 the gallery opened in Lowell. 119 Gallery, renamed for its new address at 119 Chelmsford Street, is less than a mile from downtown Lowell. The gallery is divided into a storefront cyber café and office, and main gallery. The gallery hosts exhibits, workshops, special events, ongoing series, and dozens of music, dance and video performances. We think of these as the three "E"s -- events, exhibitions, and education.
The 119 Gallery seeks an individual to lead the expansion and development of the organization's marketing, outreach and community building activities in multiple communication venues with an eye towards developing a more solid strategic communications plan. The Gallery's robust programs of events, education, and exhibits draw a steady crowd of artists, community members, and young people. It has a number of systems (both operational and technical) in place to handle the strategic communications of the organization, but they are fragmented and lack focus. The CTC VISTA member would design and create a cohesive system that will more effectively leverage the organizations skills and capacities to do its work.
