The National Guild for Community Arts Education (Guild) is the sole national service organization for community arts education. Since 1937, the Guild has worked in service to individuals and organizations ensuring all people have opportunities to maximize their creative potential. In recent years our community, staff, and board members have pushed us to look deeply into creating new decolonial practices as individuals, as an organization, and as a broader community arts education field. In January 2022, the Guild welcomed our new Executive Director, Quanice Floyd onto our team of nine. Quanice works collaboratively, side by side, with the Guild board and staff and our community to continue this work.

The Deputy Director (previously named Deputy Director of Equity and Human Development) is a salaried, exempt position partnering with the Executive Director to develop and manage internal administrative functions. This position is full remote, but requires travel to in-person staff and board retreats three times a year. There may also be additional travel to member events throughout the country. All expenses are paid by the employer.
