Elsewhere Living Museum is hiring two key leadership positions
Program Manager/Curator and Communications Manager/Curator roles
Elsewhere, the extraordinary living museum and artist residency in Greensboro, NC, is now hiring two key managerial/curatorial positions that will lead organizational programs and communications. Both roles are highly collaborative, shaping their respective work through collective visioning and goal setting, project management and coordination, and on the ground facilitation.
The Program Manager/Curator will lead curation and operation of the museum experience, the international artist residency, and alternative learning programs. The Communications Manager/Curator will lead the development of social media, newsletters, press releases, print objects, and museum interpretive materials.
Both positions are 30-hour per week roles starting at $18-20/hour. Benefits include 160 hours of paid time off, $1,000 of healthcare/self-care reimbursements and $1,000 of professional development annually, daily participation in Elsewhere’s vegetarian food co-op, and FMLA leave.
Applications are due May 1st at 11:59PM EST. Cover letters can be a barrier to entry. Elsewhere is asking applicants to complete a questionnaire in lieu of a cover letter and submit work samples of any kind along with their resume. Additionally, Elsewhere will host two town halls to introduce current staff, share information, and answer questions. The second town hall will be exclusively for BIPOC participants.
Elsewhere has significantly increased the pay and benefits for its managerial/curatorial positions, from a starting pay of $11/hr in 2019, to setting a minimum wage of $15/hr at the beginning of 2021, to now offering $18-20/hr. Managers/Curators now have expansive benefits that equal those of the Directors.
Elsewhere is an 18-year old organization with the mission is to support site-specific experimentation, social action, and interdisciplinary collaboration in order to foster new ways of thinking and doing, the exploration of context and place in artistic creation, and the integration of creativity and life. It is artist-run space, but has a radically expansive definition of artist that can include practitioners from many fields and backgrounds (educators, organizers, etc.). Elsewhere seeks staff who are visionary, curious, self-reflective, assertive, proactive, solution-oriented, and mission-driven.
Elsewhere is a complex arts organization that provides wholly unique arts experiences. It leverages its unique positionality to achieve equity as an anti-racist organization and positively impact the lives of its many participants. We strive for a work environment that is challenging and caring, unusually flexible and highly creative, joyful, and fun.
Elsewhere shares a radically expansive understanding of creative practice and identity. We strive for a diverse representation of voices, life experiences, views, and interests to reflect the collaborative community we have and wish to serve. To decolonize systemic structures of institutional oppression, we encourage queer creatives of color, as well as all other marginalized groups, to apply. Elsewhere is a ‘second chance’ employer and believes that those who are judicially challenged have a place in our community. If there are accessibility needs or questions, please contact museum@goelsewhere.org.
