GTAAC seeks new board members for 2026

by Cyra Jane Hobson

The Georgetown Association of Arts & Culture (GTAAC) is looking for additional board members to join in January! If you have an interest or investment in the artistic culture of Georgetown and may want to join, please contact Cyra Jane Hobson, GTAAC President at cyra@georgetown-arts-culture.org to open the conversation.

Who is GTAAC?

Formed in 2023, The Georgetown Association of Arts and Culture (GTAAC) supports artistic and cultural participation in our historic neighborhood by advancing creative opportunities, advocating for our creative economy, and strengthening important networks for the residents, arts professionals, and cultural organizations of Georgetown.

For the past several years GTAAC has supported Georgetown’s creative community through projects such as:

• Education Week

• The Georgetown Wayfinder Project

• Art-Chop! at the Georgetown Carnival

• The Georgetown Halloween Parade

We have also been working behind the scenes to become an official 501(c)(3) non-profit, provide grants to local artists, and to get Georgetown recognized as one of Seattle’s official Arts and Culture Districts!

GTAAC also works closely with our neighborhood partner organizations the Georgetown Business Association (GBA), the Georgetown Community Council (GCC), the Georgetown Gazette, Georgetown Steamplant and Watershed Community Development. We actively participate in the Georgetown Coalition with these organizations to foster our shared mission of enhancing all aspects of our community, business, arts, and culture.

What does being a board member require?

We are a working board, so we collaborate on producing our events and accomplishing our mission. We communicate regularly via email and Discord and have in-person meetings on the third Wednesday of the month. We are looking for team members willing to devote a few hours a month, check in on communication regularly, and join committees/take on projects as they are able. We have a lot of fun working together and are excited to welcome a couple of new board members to the team!
