As respectful residents of this meeting place, amiskwaciy, The Society for New Music in Edmonton (NME) is proud to be this region’s premier organization for the promotion and presentation of contemporary music and sound-related arts. NME is committed to seeking out and bringing to its audiences a wide spectrum of musical and sonic art practices, primarily featuring chamber music, avant-jazz, noise, choral music, sound art and multidisciplinary projects. NME strives for equity and actively seeks out both demographic and stylistic diversity in our programming, staffing, and Board of Directors.

– Configuring the designs for compatibility with Facebook events and social media posts
-Designing and writing a monthly newsletter (Mailchimp) and occasional extra updates

We are accepting applications through an online form until September 28.
Equity Statement
In calling for and reviewing proposals, New Music Edmonton strives for equity and actively seeks out both demographic and stylistic diversity. We recognize that treating all people equally does not guarantee fairness, but can, instead, reinforce extant biases. As such, in contributing to a reliably equitable environment in our own presentations, the arts generally, and society as a whole, we endorse and have adopted policies whose outcomes promote fair distribution of opportunities. We especially welcome and proactively select proposals reflecting our equity goals, and strongly encourage proposals from historically excluded demographics.
While every application will be reviewed and considered carefully, New Music Edmonton reserves the right to select candidates of its choice. Further, the organization reserves the right to offer this opportunity to candidates outside of this call.
