Bumbershoot: Seattle’s Arts & Music Festival Cover Letter

Dear Thomas Goldstein Associates, I am writing in regards to the Executive Director position at Bumbershoot: Seattle’s Arts & Music Festival. I am immensely excited about this opportunity and believe that I would be the perfect candidate for the role. I have a background in arts administration and have been working in the Seattle arts scene for the past 10 years. I am passionate about arts and culture and firmly believe that they are essential to a thriving and vibrant city. I am excited about the possibility of working with an organization like Bumbershoot that is so deeply committed to bringing arts and culture to the people of Seattle. In my previous role as Director of Development at the Seattle Symphony, I oversaw all fundraising activities and was responsible for a significant increase in annual giving. I am confident that I could bring my fundraising and management skills to Bumbershoot and help take the organization to the next level. I am a Seattle native and have a deep love for this city. I believe that Bumbershoot is a vital part of what makes Seattle such a special place and I am eager to be a part of its continued success. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Todd Piskin
