Job Description
Curator:
The primary responsibility for curators at Hillwood is to oversee our exhibition program, which is a crucial part of the museum’s success. Our exhibitions attract new audiences and encourage Hillwood fanatics to return and learn something new. We are seeking a curator who is ready to jump in, and working collaboratively with other curators, collections staff, and other departments, quickly take ownership of exhibition projects. This role is perfect for curators who have worked on projects that forced them to think outside of the box, and who have experienced those times when they followed a path they never thought they would take and found success.
Day to day responsibilities will vary depending on project deadlines. Projects will include exhibitions, lectures, trainings, tours, conferences, and being a part of the Hillwood community by engaging with staff, volunteers, visitors and new audiences. The curator will attend progress meetings, collaborate on shared projects, and participate in regular team meetings. They will also have quieter times dedicated to research study and writing. This is a hybrid position, being on Hillwood’s campus in NW DC as needed, and working from home 2-3 days a week when the exhibition schedule allows.
We are seeking a curator who has created concepts for several exhibitions and supervised the entire exhibition process in close partnership with a designer, collections staff, and other departments involved in these projects. This includes building the checklist, selecting loans, reaching out to lenders, supervising the design of the exhibition, writing labels and installing objects. The curator will need to be self-motivated and organized to ensure they are meeting project milestones. The curator will use their written and verbal and public speaking skills to provide education to staff, volunteers, visitors and new audiences. Hillwood is looking for a curator at either an Assistant or Associate level with a passion in one or more of the following areas; 18th to early 20th century French, Western European or Russian fine and decorative arts.
About Us:
