Assistant Curator & Executive Assistant
Artspace is one of the leading institutions for the production and presentation of contemporary art in the Asia Pacific. Our expansive, multi-platform approach to programming includes new commissions, exhibitions, performances, studio residencies, publishing, public programs, learning and outreach initiatives, and advocacy. Artspace is where artists of all generations test new ideas and shape public conversation. Embracing risk, experimentation, collaboration and advocacy, Artspace’s mission is to enhance our culture and support community vibrancy through a deeper engagement with contemporary art.
The Assistant Curator & Executive Assistant is a dual role which is highly valued, working across all areas of Artspace including project delivery, communication, strategic initiatives, and reporting requirements. Applicants will need to manage competing priorities, diaries and schedules. Highly developed organisational skills are essential, as is strong proficiency in providing all levels of administrative support and an understanding of Australian contemporary art. The Assistant Curator & Executive Assistant also plays an important role in supporting Artspace’s curatorial development for exhibitions, commissioning and public programs.
This position is made possible through the generous support of Andrew Cameron AM and Cathy Cameron.
