About the Columbus Museum of Art:
The Columbus Museum of Art’s mission is to create great experiences with great art for everyone. Guided by a vision to connect people and art, CMA nurtures that relationship, and attempts to remove barriers between our community and its museum.
CMA’s collection includes outstanding examples of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century American and European works of modern art, represented primarily by the collections of Ferdinand Howald and Howard D. and Babette L. Sirak. These important collections are joined by significant holdings of the New York Photo League, as well as the Philip and Suzanne Schiller Collection of American Social Commentary Art and the Scantland Collection of contemporary art. In October 2015, the museum unveiled an extensive 50,000 square foot renovation. This major overhaul featured construction of the Margaret M. Walter Wing, the upper galleries of which showcase the museum’s postwar and contemporary collections.
Since 2019, the museum has organized an off-site program of contemporary exhibitions at The Pizzuti, an 18,000 square foot facility located in the Short North neighborhood, which was gifted by Ann and Ron Pizzuti in late 2018. CMA also operates the Aminah Robinson Legacy Project which encompasses an artist residency program for U.S.-based visual artists and writers located in the former home of artist Aminah Robinson. Through its Art in Public Spaces (APS) program, the museum actively lends works from its permanent collection to city and state governmental institutions, including the Ohio Statehouse and Franklin County Courthouse, among others.Position Summary:
The Shackelford Assistant/Associate Curator of American Art will lead the museum’s efforts to steward, expand, and reinterpret its American collection, while building a rigorous and dynamic program of exhibitions relating to American art. Spanning the colonial era to the present, and bordering a host of related collections (including art of the ancient Americas and indigenous American art), the museum’s American holdings form a key part of its overall collection, with a particular strength in the early 20th century.
Reporting to the Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs, the Shackelford Assistant/Associate Curator of American Art will take responsibility for all facets related to American art, bringing to this work connoisseurship skills, scholarly expertise, experience in collections development, and a strong ability to develop major exhibition projects and publications. Candidates with expertise in Asian American, African American, Native American, and/or Latinx art (or, other specializations) are encouraged to apply. The Assistant/Associate Curator of American Art will work effectively with colleagues in overlapping areas of interest and expertise, especially modern art and photography.
