Part-time curator
The Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts (DCCA), a non-collecting
museum located on Wilmington’s revitalized Riverfront, seeks a
half-time, high-energy curator beginning October 2010. The DCCA,
conveniently located on the I-95 corridor and within walking distance
to an Amtrak and SEPTA station, presents 20 - 30 exhibitions annually
of regionally, nationally, and internationally recognized artists in
its seven galleries, offers on-site studios to 26 working artists, and
carries out an active schedule of educational and community outreach
programs.
The Gretchen Hupfel Curator of Contemporary Art, a recently endowed
position, will coordinate with the DCCA’s adjunct curator and visiting
curators and will be responsible for the overall conceptualization and
implementation of an ambitious schedule of changing exhibitions.
Central to the job is the ability to develop creative, engaging
exhibitions in a small museum with limited budget and personnel.
The successful applicant must be able to thrive in a fast-paced
organization where multi-tasking is essential and be adept at building
relationships with a wide range of constituents including artists,
students, young people, community members, and donors. Close connection
to the contemporary art world is paramount. Strong organizational,
research, written, and oral communication skills are necessary; ability
to work as part of a team of dedicated professionals is essential.
Requirements include a graduate degree in art history (Ph.D. preferred)
or an allied field and at least two years of full-time curatorial
experience.
Please send letter, c.v. with contact information for three references,
and writing samples to the DCCA, 200 South Madison Street, Wilmington,
DE 19801 or to info@thedcca.org. No phone or in person inquiries.
The DCCA provides equal employment opportunities to all applicants
without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry,
sex, sexual orientation, marital status, age, disability, or on any
other basis prohibited by state or federal law.
