Full-time
- The Director of Curatorial Affairs (DCA) plays a crucial role in shaping the Museum’s celebrated collections and its trailblazing, critically acclaimed exhibition program, both of which strive to be best in class, and to draw and inspire local, national, and international visitors.
- Reporting to the Deputy Director for Art (DDA), you will lead and advocate for the Curatorial team, along with Libraries & Archives, in terms of both program and administration.
- While the DCA will have their own area of curatorial expertise, and may have the opportunity to curate exhibitions, your primary role will be to guide, shape, and support the curators in their respective areas of focus on the building, refinement, display, and interpretation of their corresponding collection(s), as well as special exhibitions.
- Minimum of 10 years’ relevant work experience as a curator with established arts organizations, with a robust record of important exhibitions and publications and demonstrable success conceptualizing, designing, and implementing curatorial strategies
- Guide the curators in making strategic acquisitions that align with our Collection Development Plan goals, conducting thoughtfully executed provenance research, and identifying careful, systematic deaccessions to create ideal storage conditions that proactively care for the collections and continually improve upon the institution’s intellectual control over its holdings (in collaboration with the Director, DDA, curatorial team, and Board of Trustees)
