MUSEUM DIRECTOR

Cheekwood Botanical Gardens and Museum of Art, Nashville TN.

Cheekwood seeks an engaging, motivated professional with skill in curating
exhibitions and a commitment to education as well as demonstrated
experiences in forging strong relationships with collectors, donors, staff,
and volunteers.  Cheekwood recently completed an $18.5-million capital
campaign that resulted in site-wide improvements to the Museum of Art and
the Botanical Garden.  Our collections of contemporary art, American
paintings and prints, Worcester porcelain, and silver have been enhanced by
the campaign, particularly with the establishment of the Carell Woodland
Sculpture Trail and new installation of art galleries.  Cheekwood, the
largest private collecting museum in Nashville, is poised to expand its
collection as well as continue to broaden its appeal to the community at
large with innovative exhibitions and programs.  The new director of the
Museum of Art will motivate and inspire a gifted staff that includes award-
winning exhibition curators and educators.  S/he also will embrace the
benefit of the museum’s location on a 55-acre estate designated as one of
the top five “must see Southern gardens” by the editors of Southern
Living.  Candidates will have obtained an advanced degree in art history,
arts administration, or management; at least five years’ curatorial
experience; a specialization in education or modern/contemporary art; and
exceptional interpersonal and writing skills.  Business and marketing
experience a plus.  Interested candidates are encouraged to submit letter
of interest, curriculum vitae, and three references to:
