Kenyon College is seeking a Coordinator of Engagement and Public Programs for the Gund Gallery. In this position, the candidate will create and implement museum education programs with an emphasis on the Kenyon College community, organizational partnerships in the Knox County area, and national partners in the visual arts. This new role will be vital to the development of the new Gund Gallery Annex, a grant-funded programmatic space located in Mount Vernon (Ohio) (about 10 minutes from the Kenyon campus), with a focus on mutual learning initiatives through art and civic engagements.
This position relies heavily on cross-communication; public engagement; relationship-building with a broad audience of community members, students, and volunteers; and collaboration with the Gund Gallery staff. This is a new position and designed for a motivated emerging candidate excited about new challenges, and eager to build and foster community on and off Kenyon campus. This person will report directly to the Director/Chief Curator of the Gund Gallery. This is an inaugural position that is supported through a two-year, grant.
