Description:
Edgewater Gallery seeks a creative and operational director for our established fine art galleries; Edgewater Gallery on the Green and Edgewater Gallery at the Falls in Middlebury and for our satellite location at The Pitcher Inn in Warren Vermont. This is an excellent opportunity for a candidate who is interested in a career in the arts, and is eager to not only uphold the reputation of the galleries but to also introduce new ideas and directions that will keep them current.
The ideal candidate will have gallery experience including curatorial skills, artist management, and art handling, customer relations, sales, knowledge of social media, and marketing skills. The seasonal nature of the gallery means that the quieter foot traffic months require outreach with the design trade, art consultants and other outlets that will expand Edgewater’s presence beyond Middlebury.
We are looking for an individual who is committed to living locally and being part of the community.
Edgewater Gallery was established in 2009. We are a fine art gallery exhibiting contemporary and traditional fine art from over 80 emerging and established artists throughout the US and Canada. The galleries are located in the towns of Middlebury, Vermont and Warren Vermont, two quintessentially beautiful New England towns whose locations benefit from having easy access to lakes, hiking trails, ski mountains and cycling routes. Middlebury College is within walking distance to our two Middlebury galleries.
