Curator, American Art, Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth, Texas

Posted: 4/10/2013

Closes: 5/15/2013

Summary of Responsibilities: The Amon Carter Museum of American Art seeks a curator who, under the direction of the Deputy Director of Art and Research, will be an important and creative member of the team that establishes and manages the curatorial program and shares responsibility for the paintings, sculpture, and works on paper collections. The responsibilities include: setting strategies for collection development, display, interpretation, research, and publications; performing key functions of exhibition generation and organization; collaborating with the education team for diverse programs; assisting with donor development and stewardship; and representing the museum, its mission, exhibitions, collections, and programs to its members, the field of American art, and the public at large.

The Collection: The Amon Carter Museum of American Art was founded in 1961, fulfilling Amon G. Carter's (1879-1955) desire to establish a museum, free and open to the public, to display his collection of some 400 paintings and sculptures by Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell. The museum's collecting activity expanded to encompass a much broader range of American art during the ensuing decades. Today, the Amon Carter houses more than 200,000 objects, including paintings by the earliest artist-explorers of the American West through the Hudson River School era and twentieth-century modernism up to the last oil on canvas Stuart Davis created in 1964. The museum also houses about 6,000 works on paper-which together span a wide range of subjects and artists from the nineteenth through the twentieth centuries-and its photography holdings include daguerreotypes from the earliest years of the medium to inkjet prints of the present day, making it one of the nation's most important repositories of American photography.

The Building: Situated on a high point in the city's Cultural District, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art was designed by American architect Philip Johnson (1906-2005). In 2001 Johnson designed a major expansion of his original building, increasing the overall size by nearly 50,000 square feet. Calling the structure "the building of my career," Johnson created a simple, elegant design that combined the warmth and richness of bronze with the creamy, intricately patterned surface of native Texas shellstone. Today, the museum is joined in Fort Worth's Cultural District by museum buildings designed by Tadao Ando, Louis Kahn, and Renzo Piano, making the area a destination for American architecture.

Qualifications: The successful candidate will possess the following qualifications: - Advanced degree in American art history. M.A. in Art History or American Studies required; Ph.D. preferred. - Demonstrated scholarship in the history of American art, with a proven record of exhibitions, publications, and lectures. An interest in art of the American West helpful. - Minimum of five years curatorial experience. - Critical and creative thinking skills that embrace innovative approaches to advance the reputation of the ACMAA as a leading museum regionally, nationally, and globally. - Experience developing and/or implementing collaborative projects with cross- institutional teams and through community outreach. - Experience working closely with donors, collectors, and Trustees; experience supervising assistants and interns. - Mission-driven with a belief in and commitment to the mission of the ACMAA; a strong interest in and passion for the visual arts. - Knowledge of standard museum and preservation practices; familiarity with conservation practices. - Experience with budget planning and funding proposals. - Ability to thrive in a collaborative environment for creation and implementation of projects; equally comfortable in a leadership role or as a team member. - Excellent verbal and written communication skills; charismatic communicator, able to build enthusiasm for the museum, its exhibitions, and programs. - Excellent listening skills, comfortable receiving input from many sources; able to strategize by analyzing and formulating disparate information into a sound, well-organized plan. - Strong work ethic and highly developed organizational skills; ability to manage multiple projects, and meet deadlines. - Emotionally mature with a sense of humor and the flexibility and sensitivity to work with diverse personalities and situations; tactful and respectful of other's concerns; able to reach objectives when barriers arise using flexible and creative alternatives and solutions.

Executive Director, The Old Jail Art Center, Albany, Texas

Posted: 4/10/2013

Closes: When filled

Summary of Responsibilities: The Old Jail Art Center (www.theoldjailartcenter.org ), accredited by the American Alliance of Museums since 1989, seeks a dynamic Executive Director to lead what Texas Monthly magazine has called "the best small-town museum in Texas, and maybe in the nation." Responsibilities include but are not limited to the following: - Works in partnership with the Board of Trustees to establish the strategic direction of the museum and carry out strategic priorities; - Directs the museum's operations, to include development, education and public programming, finance, external communications, and staffing; - Acting as chief fundraiser, develops resources-financial, in-kind, and human-to realize the strategic directions of the museum; - Oversees the development, presentation, and interpretation of the museum's fine art, archival, and library collections; - Supervises a talented education staff that devises and presents a varied and active education program to express the core mission of the museum; - Develops an effective communications plan to raise the profile of the museum; establishes strong partnerships in the community, as well as in the larger art and museum communities; and motivates both staff and volunteers. The successful candidate will be responsible for managing an annual budget of $700,000, a staff of 7, and numerous active volunteers, and will work closely with a 20-member Board of Trustees (with additional advisors), who are drawn from the community, as well as from across the state of Texas.

About the Musuem: The Old Jail Art Center (OJAC) opened in 1980 in the refurbished original (1877) jail building of Shackelford County. There have been three major capital additions since that time so that the current facility currently measures 15,000 square feet, with an additional sculpture courtyard and grounds. The permanent collection numbers more than 2,800 items comprising Asian art, pre-Columbian art and artifacts, and European and American art from the 17th through 21st centuries. The museum maintains an active exhibition program of work from the collection as well as borrowed objects. The Green Fine Art Library houses over 2,000 volumes and the Robert Nail Archives houses historic documents from the area; artist papers; and the OJAC institutional archives. Achievements - A successful and far-reaching educational program, which has been cited as an exemplary program that can serve as a model outreach program for other museums. - A remarkable collection of art for a museum in a small community. It is particularly strong in art of the 20th century, including works by Amedeo Modigliani, Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Joan Miro, Henri Matisse, Thomas Hart Benton, Grant Wood, Alexander Calder, Henry Moore, John Marin, Charles Demuth, Robert Rauschenberg, Agnes Martin, and Kiki Smith. Pre-20th-century artists represented in the collection include Rembrandt van Rijn, Salvator Rosa, George Romney, Francisco Goya, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Gustave Caillebotte, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. There are also works by Italian Modernist sculptors, late 20th-century British artists, and important regional groups, such as the Fort Worth Circle (1945-1955) and the Taos Moderns (1950s-1960s). Strong holdings in Asian art, particularly ancient Han to T'ang Dynasty Chinese tomb figures, along with the William O. Gross, Jr. Collection of Pre-Columbian Art, with its pan-cultured artifacts, add significant range and depth to the permanent collection. Artifacts that reflect the ranching heritage of the area are the focus of the Sallie Reynolds Matthews Room, a permanent installation. The OJAC has an active acquisition policy, focused primarily on collecting the work of contemporary Texas artists. - Accreditation. The Old Jail's greatest single achievement came in 1989 when it was awarded accreditation by the American Alliance of Museums, becoming one of only 5% of the nation's museums to be accredited. It has twice been awarded subsequent accreditation, most recently in 2008. - Fundraising success. In its recent Reilly Nail Legacy Campaign (2006-2008), the OJAC raised more than $8.25 million from mostly local sources, exceeding its goal of $7,750,000. The museum has a $10 million endowment. - Capital Improvements. A number of capital projects have been undertaken in 2008-2009 as a result of the recently successful Legacy Campaign, among them the exterior and interior refurbishment of the 1877 building; enlargement of the Green Library to include a periodical room/e-lounge; restroom remodeling; new carpeting throughout; refurbishment of the Stasney Center for Education; new audio-visual equipment; remodeling of a current space to transform it into an education suite/distance learning studio; addition of a new kitchen and storage space; redesign of the sculpture courtyard; grounds improvements.
