City Gallery Wellington: Employment opportunities
City Gallery Wellington reopens to the public in September this year. This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role as part of a motivated and high-performing team to ensure the Gallery is highly successful and continues to attract and engage audiences.
Curator Maori & Pacific Art
The new Roderick and Gillian Deane gallery will showcase the work of Maori and Pacific artists and designers. You will curate and co-ordinate this exhibition programme and organise related events. Your understanding of tikanga and kawa Maori will be invaluable, and ideally your understanding of Pacific cultural practices and knowledge systems. Building strong relationships with artists and communities is a vital part of this role. As part of the curatorial team you’ll also contribute to the Gallery’s overall exhibition programmes. You’ll need experience as a curator, or equivalent, and hold a relevant tertiary qualification.
Manager, Marketing and Communications
As part of City Gallery’s senior management team you’ll lead the development and delivery of its marketing and communication strategies to promote the Gallery and its artistic programmes to the media and the public. Using your experience in marketing and/or communications, you’ll bring a strategic focus to all aspects of your work to enhance the Gallery brand and attract new audiences. You will work closely with the Gallery Director and Business Manager to develop and deliver sponsorship initiatives and proposals, and build City Gallery Wellington Foundation Membership. Your approach is entrepreneurial, innovative and proactive. You will have well developed networks that will support your role.
In both of these roles, we’ll value your drive, energy, flexibility and commitment to thinking creatively.
The closing date for applications is Monday 30 March 2009.
