In 1996, a group of New York City artists, educators, and activists founded Groundswell with the belief that collaborative art making combined with the sanctity of personal expression and the strength of community activism, would produce enduring and powerful outcomes. Now twenty-six years later, Groundswell has completed over 600 murals throughout New York City while working with youth and teaching artists in collaboration with hundreds of community-based organizations and government agencies.

Groundswell is seeking a charismatic, innovative and strategy-oriented Executive Director to provide ongoing vision to lead and manage all aspects of the organization in line with its mission and core values.
