Organizational Overview The mission of Armory Center for the Arts is to nurture our community and its young people by creating, learning, and presenting art to advance equity and social justice. Deeply committed to public access, education, and outreach programs, the Armory presents contemporary art exhibitions, performances, and educational experiences at its main facility and at satellite locations throughout the City of Pasadena and Greater Los Angeles. For more information on the Armory, visit armoryarts.org/about. The Armory believes that traditional hiring practices have historically and systemically marginalized entire groups of people including people of color, people of different socio-economic backgrounds, women, people with disabilities, people in the LGBTQ community, and veterans, to name a few. We strongly believe as an organization in deconstructing barriers and building a team that authentically represents the diverse communities, and backgrounds of Los Angeles County. We strongly encourage applications from people with these identities or who are members of other marginalized groups. What We Are Looking For The Armory is seeking an Evaluation Associate for our Programs department. The Evaluation Associate works closely with the VP of Programs and all the Directors (Studio, Schools, Offsite Community & Exhibitions) to coordinate, collect and organize visitor data for evaluations of education and exhibition programs. The Evaluation Associate works a variable schedule, based on project needs, up to 29 hours a week. This Evaluation Associate will support Armory Arts-Inspired Youth Program Assessment (INSPO), a grant-funded project, structured over four distinct phases. INSPO project results include new insights into ways to capture youth experiences in the arts; rigorous and nuanced teacher assessment of student performance, which can be used to refine programs that serve historically overlooked communities in our region; an enhanced capacity to measure social emotional learning outcomes; and improved visitor experiences. Success will be measured by greater empowerment for youth who participate in the evaluation in a more joyful and creative experience, giving diverse participants agency in their storytelling. We will also measure the fluency of program staff and teaching artists as they increase their understanding of foundational elements of traditional program evaluation alongside non-traditional arts based evaluation. The ideal candidate has the following skills: Responsibilities for this part-time position include, but are not limited to: Invite, encourage, and recruit Armory visitors and students to participate in evaluation studies, offering incentives when appropriate. Interact with Armory visitors and students to collect data both independently, and as part of an Evaluation Team. Administer both traditional surveys on either tablets or paper, keeping detailed logs of survey activities and encouraging visitors and students to participate in non-traditional, creative evaluation strategies. Flexibility and curiosity to consider non-traditional evaluation tools and methods. Pilot, implement, and give feedback on evaluation instruments, including surveys, creative evaluation strategies and interview protocols. Data management; organize and manage all collected data. Data analysis; analyze traditional and non-traditional data. Reporting; present data internally to Armory staff and other stakeholders. This part-time position has the following requirements: Bachelor’s degree or at least two years of equivalent training or experience.

The Long Beach Creative Group is proud to present Full Creative Vision: An In Memoriam to Marka and Mic Burns, a tribute to their artistic legacies, whose creative contributions have left an indelible mark on our community. The exhibition opens on Sunday, December 1st, with a reception from 1-4 pm, and will continue every Friday through Sunday until December 15th. The Rod Briggs Gallery is located at 2221 East Broadway in Long Beach. Regular hours are 1-4 pm. Marka Burns, a dedicated artist and educator, inspired countless students and educators throughout her career, instilling in them the importance of developing their full creative potential. A graduate of Chouinard Art Institute and California State University, Long Beach, Marka taught art and art education at CSULB for over 30 years. Her pioneering spirit led her to open the first Color Xerox studio for artists in California. Her passion extended beyond the classroom, as she lectured on art and architecture across Europe, coordinated exhibits in prestigious venues, and created artwork that has been featured in private and corporate collections. In 2015, Marka and husband Mic co-founded the Long Beach Creative Group. With a small group of artists and arts enthusiasts, their mission was to create opportunities for Long Beach artists to showcase their work. Thanks to her vision, the Long Beach Creative Group & Rod Briggs Gallery became a vital hub for creative expression, connecting an impressively diverse group of artists and patrons. Mic Burns, a talented pipe designer and digital painter, began his career after graduating from the Cornish School of Arts in Seattle. Known worldwide for his handcrafted Freehand Pipes under the name "Micoli," Mic channeled his artistic vision into digital paintings later in life. Inspired by the smallest details—from his wife’s paint palettes to the textures of nature—Mic’s work transforms everyday elements into profound artistic expressions. New board president Travis Stock-Tucker said, "we are so proud of the work that Marka and Mic did in support of the arts in Long Beach. The Rod Briggs Gallery would not exist without their leadership and vision, and the Group remains committed to honoring their legacy." "I'd seen some of their work, before, but I must admit that seeing the gallery full of their art is really glorious," said Sander Roscoe Wolff, a newly appointed board member that worked closely with Marka for the last 5 years. "I really hope that friends, students, and fellow artists take the time to see this exhibition before it ends." The exhibit will run from December 1st to December 15th, with gallery hours from 1-4 PM on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Join us for the opening on December 1st from 1-4 PM, with a time for speeches honoring Marka and Mic from 2-3 PM. Those wishing to speak are encouraged to keep remarks to around 5 minutes. A portion of all sales will go toward the creation of a new scholarship endowment for CSULB students in the arts education program. We and the Burns family agree that this is a perfect way to honor their legacy. The Long Beach Creative Group is supported, in part, by the Arts Council for Long Beach, the Port of Long Beach, the City of Long Beach, and the Briggs Family Trust. The LBCG is an established consortium of experienced artists, educators, and art enthusiasts engaged in creating exhibit space and opportunities for local artists through curated exhibits and events. Since 2019, the Rod Briggs Gallery has enabled the group to consistently and professionally present the depth and diversity of artistic expression in Long Beach and the surrounding communities. The Rod Briggs Gallery is located at 2221 East Broadway, Long Beach, CA 90803. During exhibits, the gallery is open to the public Fridays through Sundays, from 1 pm to 4 pm. No appointment is required. More information about the group, the gallery, and the show can be found at LongBeachCreativeGroup.com. Follow them on Facebook at facebook.com/LongBeachCreativeGroup, and on Instagram @LongBeachCreativeGroup.
