Job Description

Prospect New Orleans is in search of a Director of Programs to play a leading role in developing Prospects programs during the 2024 year (including for the upcoming P.6 triennial) and into the future.

The Director will manage Prospects Programs & Audience Engagement Manager.

Core responsibilities will be ideating and developing execution and community engagement strategies for Prospects Artists of Public Memory commission series, artist-centric programming that occurs during the exhibition, Prospectors member events, and additional programming as needed.

This position requires both vision and execution:

ideating and designing programs and related engagement strategies and then shifting to thinking about the logistics of event execution.

Competitive candidates will have completed at least a Bachelors degree, will have substantial experience in programming, and will have a large network of individuals and organizations in New Orleans.

The Director of Programs will join a small team of devoted professionals with diverse professional and life experiences.

Ideal candidates will be highly organized, experienced, and connected; have a strong eye for detail; and broad fluency with the New Orleans art ecosystem and contemporary art in general.

All Prospect employees are expected to remain aware of the local, national, and global context for contemporary art; to participate during Prospects community-facing events; and to occasionally represent the organization at public events.
