Job in the Arts

The Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts (DCCA), a non-collecting museum located on Wilmington's revitalized Riverfront, is looking to hire a full-time curator beginning fall 2007.

The DCCA is conveniently located on the I-95 corridor, within walking distance to an Amtrak/SEPTA station, and 30 minutes from Philadelphia. The DCCA currently presents nearly 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 Curator is responsible for initiating, developing, implementing, and interpreting a schedule of temporary exhibitions. Central to the job is the ability to cultivate and maintain relationships with an active community of artists, collectors, curators, and patrons. 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. Salary is competitive.
