Curator of Exhibitions

The John Michael Kohler Arts Center, a dynamic 100,000 sq. ft. visual and performing arts complex supports an unusually broad range of artists and ideas in its exhibitions, residency programs, and many other activities. The Arts Center seeks a full-time curator with a breadth of knowledge and significant experience in the field of contemporary art as well as an emphasis on craft-related forms and installation works. This person will develop original thematic and solo exhibitions; write materials for exhibitions and related publications and grants; undertake speaking engagements; and collaborate with other departments; in particular on complimentary programming and marketing. With nearly all exhibitions curated in-house, the Arts Center offers an exciting opportunity to develop and implement a wide range of innovative exhibition projects. The ability to produce excellent, accessible critical writing for catalogues and other interpretive materials is required. Qualified candidates also must have honed public speaking and presentation skills, strong organizational skills, as well as the capacity to collaborate with other curators, staff in other departments, artists, lenders, and volunteers. A master's degree in art history, American studies, or related field is required along with five years of curatorial experience. Salary will be commensurate with experience.

Located on the western shore of Lake Michigan just one hour north of Milwaukee and two and a half hours from Chicago, Sheboygan has been named one of the most livable cities in the U.S. by national magazines.
