Membership & Internships

As an Artist-Run Centre, the Khyber is run collectively by its members. Visual artists, both emerging and established, professors and educators, writers, musicians, filmmakers and  people who love and appreciate contemporary art and culture frequent the Khyber.  Anyone who is interested in supporting contemporary arts in the Atlantic provinces should become a member and as a member you will become part of a growing  community of people committed to seeing public access to arts events prosper.

Different memberships offer you different opportunities within the Khyber.

VOLUNTEERING

Volunteering is a rewarding and enriching experience for both the volunteer and the centre. As a Khyber volunteer your main duty is to aid our visitors in connecting to the space so that they get the most out of their visit.

In return for your support, we offer the opportunity to gain knowledge and skills in the day-to-day organization of an artist run centre. Whether you are looking to build experience for a future career in the arts or just want to be a more active part of the arts community, we welcome committed and dedicated people to come in and help out.

Either stop by for a visit or email info@khyber.ca to get more info about volunteer roles.

INTERNSHIPS

The Khyber provides internships to students and other individuals looking to benefit from gaining real life experience working in an art centre.

We offer and accept applications for internships all year round that focus on the following areas:

·    Khyber Quarterly Newsletter
·    Khyber Kids Workshops
·    Archive
·    Front of House Management
·    Public Relations
·    Fundraising
·    Promo & Design
·    Installation / Tech
·    Cinema
·    Other projects

The hired intern will work closely with the Artistic Director, Event Coordinators, Board members, and volunteers to insure that the Khyber is run efficiently as a creative public space.

We ask that you can commit to 15hrs per week for a minimum of  4 months (or semester/summer). The hours an intern works can be flexible to fit around people’s study/ employment hours, this is a matter of negotiation.

To apply, email a resume and cover letter, detailing which areas you are interested in, directly to director@khyber.ca. If you are applying through NSCAD (or another institution) speak to your program chair for more information on gaining credit through internships.
