You should have received my message regarding a full time curator
position at a new museum.  I would also like to solicit inquiries for
guest curators to develop exhibits for our opening.  Project deadline is
12-14 months from today.

About the project:

 The William F. Eisner Advertising & Design Museum will be an exhibition
and interpretive center focusing on the development of advertising and
design. Within the Museum, visitors will explore permanent and changing
exhibitions related to the many realms of advertising, from posters and
road side billboards, to today’s latest television commercials and the
Internet.  Visitors will be reminded of famous advertising campaigns,
appeals, characters, images and sounds that have become signposts of our
popular culture. Visitors will be challenged to create an ad themselves
or consider important ethical issues in advertising, promotion and
corporate sponsorship.  The mission of the Museum is to inform, educate
and entertain.
 The Museum will serve as a catalyst for discussion and critical
conversation about advertising and design.  By examining how ad
campaigns develop, showcasing the medium’s past and forecasting its
future, the Eisner Museum will explore how popular culture is reflected
in, and shaped by, advertising.

 Interest in interpretation of popular culture vital. strong background
in visual arts, advertising design or production, graphic design,
industrial design or relevant area of study in the humanities is
suggested.
