Nocturne is a non-profit organization seeking a volunteer to serve as the HR/Personnel Director on the Board of Directors.
Nocturne is an independent, free, contemporary art festival in Kjipuktuk/Halifax presented by the Nocturne: Art at Night Society founded in 2008. The festival invites 65,000+ attendees annually to experience art and energy on the streets of our city, showcasing and celebrating the visual arts scene in Mi'kma'ki/Nova Scotia. In addition to the festival, the society oversees a collection of arts programming utilizing the same mentality that art can be anywhere.
Nocturne, designed and planned largely by volunteers, is an opportunity for everyone to experience the art of Kjipuktuk/Halifax in a new light.
