Vincent Price Art Museum Recruiting Curator of Educational Programs — Los Angeles
Museum education curatorial appointment
The Los Angeles Community College District is recruiting a Curator of Educational Programs for the Vincent Price Art Museum (VPAM) at East Los Angeles College. The full-time professional position designs, implements and evaluates programmes that help students, visitors, artists and communities engage with the museum's collections and exhibitions. This is a curatorial education role, distinct from a collections curator responsible primarily for acquisitions or conservation.
Exhibitions, gallery learning and public programmes
The curator develops artist talks, lectures, performances, exhibitions-related activities, workshops and curriculum-based experiences for different age groups. Duties include developing interpretive and educational materials, leading gallery talks and tours, coordinating docent programmes and arranging visiting artists, scholars and community speakers. The work should support a museum that connects art with the diverse communities of East Los Angeles.
Partnerships, communication and evaluation
The position builds relationships with students, faculty, schools, artist organisations and community partners, coordinates outreach meetings and supports educational publicity through digital and traditional channels. The curator also prepares grant materials and reporting, develops programme budgets, evaluates visitor participation and supervises students or volunteers working in public programmes. Clear writing, financial organisation and public speaking are expected.
Qualification criteria and licence
The employer requires a bachelor's degree from a recognised institution in art education, art history, studio art, museum studies or a related discipline, plus two years of full-time professional experience developing or implementing art programmes in a museum, educational or cultural setting. Experience engaging diverse audiences is preferred. A valid California Class C driver's licence is required, as is the ability to travel within the college district for relevant work. Applicants should review the complete District job description for the exact qualification assessment.
Salary, schedule and definitive deadline
