Cotuit, MA 02635
United States

Salary: $65,000 - $75,000
The Cahoon Museum of American Art, located on Cape Cod in Cotuit, Massachusetts, seeks a Curator to guide the museum's interpretive framework, exhibition programming, and collections management as it enters an exciting time of revisioning and growth. Created forty years ago in the historic home and studio of renowned folk artists Ralph and Martha Cahoon, the museum today celebrates the variety and complexity of the American artform as it relates to the region.
The Curator at the Cahoon Museum of American Art will join an organization that is on an upward trajectory. The museum’s budget has grown from $350,000 to $1.2 million over the past decade, reflecting a vigorous expansion of exhibitions, programs, staffing, and fundraising capability. This expansion was accelerated with the recent purchase of an adjacent historic property, which will more than double the museum’s footprint and enable a new vision of its possibilities. An architectural master plan is currently underway for the new campus as well as a feasibility study for an associated capital campaign.
With this growth, the museum is seeking its first dedicated Curator to lead the organization’s artistic and interpretive vision, establish its curatorial “voice,” coordinate its exhibitions, and steward its collection. Reporting to and working alongside Executive Director Sarah Johnson, Ph.D., the Curator will serve in a senior-leadership role that assists with the formulation and implementation of strategic direction for the museum.
The museum is focusing on several initiatives that make this an outstanding time for the incoming Curator to offer an important contribution:
- Expand the museum campus and outdoor spaces to accommodate new programs and opportunities to showcase art.
- Uplift the work and legacy of Ralph and Martha Cahoon through the publication of a catalogue raisonné, biography, and online presence.
- Create a sustainable exhibition plan that reflects the museum’s ambitions and energy while optimizing collaborations with other institutions and collections.
- Develop standards and write an exhibition style guide.
- Undertake a collections management strategy and grant-funded archives assessment project.
- Make the museum more accessible to diverse audiences and inclusive of artists traditionally underrepresented in art museums.
