Last night I was elected/ hired as executive director of a non-profit group here in Portland called MENSK. From what I understand from my friends that work for non-profits, this means that I will work for slave wages, with little hope of thanks or recognition, for causes that are repeatedly and increasingly neglected. Should be an absolute blast!
MENSK is a hub. We aim to provide a set of utilities and resources for artists and organizers to get their projects, events, organizations off the ground. MENSK is a negative space. It is an umbrella organization and it's primary aim is to support and nurture burgeoning bright ideas. We also have a proud history and promising future of events organization and community building.
I have absolutely no idea what I am in for at this point, but I aim to learn as I go along. It's all we can ever do. The second you really get a handle on something I believe you should quit, it indicates that you're done learning.
