An exciting message from Title Track’s founder, Seth Bernard
“It is with gratitude and excitement that I share the news that I have shifted my role at Title Track from Co-executive Director to Creative Director!
When we started this organization, part of the design plan from the beginning was for me to begin as Director and then over time to build shared power, serving with other co-Directors, and then eventually to shift to a staff role, then a board member and eventually becoming a volunteer. Founder syndrome is real and Title Track will not suffer from it on my account.
Having shared Directorship with Holly T. Bird and Jenny Jones for a couple of years, I am hopeful that this boat will not only stay afloat, but will be reaching new levels of impact and excellence with Jenny Jones at the helm as our Executive Director. In my new role, I can play to my strengths and weave with my vocation as an artist moving forward. This was always part of the plan, and now it has become a reality!
As Creative Director, I intend to continue to contribute deeply to Title Track’s mission and to advance our shared goals. I intend to continue to help run programs and raise money to advance this work, and I intend to foster generative artistic partnerships to expand our collective reach and impact.
I will also be working on new projects and programs at Earthwork Farm where I was born and raised and where we hosted Earthwork Harvest Gathering! Look out for some exciting collaborations with Title Track as our partnership with Earthwork Farm extends into the future. As I continue to steward the land that raised me, and work hard to take the farm into it’s next phase as a community center, I am grateful to remain deeply connected to Title Track and to have opportunities for these projects to overlap and amplify one another in mutually beneficial ways.
As we face the increasingly dire consequences of institutional violence and living under extractive systems that don’t uplift working class people or protect our environment, the work of organizations like Title Track becomes more valuable. There is no limit to what we can do together, and I am grateful to be able to face the future with you all as Title Track’s Creative Director.”
Onward, -Seth Bernard

I have so appreciated Seth’s heart and consistent message of love and creative freedom and joy. This work requires great focus, heart, and attention to the delicate and dynamic needs of our community – Sethy is meeting them with all the energy and love he can muster. We continue on with the blessing of different titles, but the same fervor and mission….and now we get to stretch out and expand and create more TOGETHER. We hope our community understands in order for this good work to continue, financial support is something that we always need and appreciate – making a recurring donation to support Title Track’s general operation fund is greatly needed at this time in order for us to continue in the way that we have been.
Grateful for this journey and work, may it continue. -Jenny Jones, Title Track Executive Director
