OLD LYME — The town is seeking a volunteer Arts and Culture Liaison to serve as a formal connection between municipal government and the Old Lyme Arts District, according to an October 21 town announcement.
The position carries a three-year term and is appointed by the Board of Selectmen. The notice describes a role advocating for the town's cultural interests, supporting creative industries and connecting local initiatives with regional arts and economic-development efforts.
The liaison would act as a point of contact among town officials, residents, artists and cultural organizations. Responsibilities include helping coordinate arts programming, representing cultural interests in planning and partnerships, and advising municipal leadership and the Arts District.
The town also expects the appointee to present periodically to the Board of Selectmen and other boards or commissions when needed. The position is intended to connect cultural advocacy with local commerce, rather than function solely as an event-organizing role.
The town's application portal lists one vacancy. It labels the seat's calculated term as November 11, 2026 through November 10, 2029; the vacancy listing is not an announcement that anyone has been appointed.
The position is identified as volunteer. The October 21 announcement does not state a stipend, an application deadline or a required weekly commitment. Prospective applicants can use the linked town board portal to review the position and apply.
