Mission:
Seattle Arts & Lectures (SAL) cultivates transformative experiences through story and language with readers and writers of all generations.
We invite you to join our fun, book-loving team of 14 to fulfill the mission of SAL as our Marketing Coordinator. SAL offers thoughtfully curated experiences through programs that are intergenerational in nature, bolstering both emerging and established literary artists, and inviting change and new perspectives in our audience. We believe these activities are essential to continuously and courageously revitalize equity, justice, and belonging. Our work both internally and externally is guided by our core values: belonging, racial equity, transparency and trust, curiosity, and joy.
SAL Program Overview:
SAL fulfills its mission through educational, public, and community programming, in-person and online. Our public literary events bring the most talented and thought-provoking writers of our times to speak about and read their work. Our free Summer Book Bingo program (co-presented with The Seattle Public Library and the King County Library System) inspires our community to reconnect with the joy of reading through a series of fun challenges. Our youth programs include Writers in the Schools (WITS) and the Seattle Youth Poetry Fellowship (YPF) program. WITS places local, professional writers in public school classroom residencies to inspire K-12 students to tell their stories as they develop lifelong writing skills. YPF elevates the powerful voices of local youth poets committed to community engagement, education, and equity in our region.
Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, & Access:
All staff actively participate in SAL’s ongoing efforts to become an anti-racist organization and embody an organizational culture that supports and reinforces our inclusion, diversity, equity & access goals. Our 2020-24 Strategic Plan and SAL’s Equity Accountability Reports are available on the SAL website under “About.” This commitment and understanding should be demonstrated throughout the performance of the Marketing Coordinator responsibilities and staff activities.
Position Overview:
Working with the Marketing Manager and the Director of Events & Outreach, the Marketing Coordinator assists with the implementation of SAL’s marketing, advertising, communications, and engagement efforts to increase the visibility and impact of the organization, our mission, and our programs.
