                               Grinnell College
                    Director, Grinnell College Art Gallery


Applications are invited for the directorship of a new art gallery to be
opened in the fall of 1999 at Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa.  The Gallery
is located in the new Matthew and Carolyn Swartz 51 Bucksbaum Center for the
Arts, designed by the world-renowned architect, Cesar Pelli. The Center
includes a gallery (7,420 square feet) as well as excellent music, studio art,
and theatre facilities. Preliminary discussions among College faculty and the
Board of Trustees has advanced the concept that the Gallery will serve as a
space for traveling exhibitions of contemporary art, including sculpture. The
exhibition budget will be secured through a grant from Grinnell College's Fund
for Excellence, an innovative budgeting mechanism developed by Grinnell's
Board of Trustees to encourage innovation and excellence at the College.  The
Gallery is also part of a larger effort by the College to project itself more
effectively in the region and nation.  Although Grinnell College has holdings
of prints, paintings, and other art, it does not intend, at the present time,
to purchase art actively but hopes to develop a long-term acquisition strategy
to be crafted by the Director.

The College is looking for a person excited about working in a high intensity
environment in which the Director will have both the opportunity and
responsibility to build a first-rate gallery and exhibition program.  The new
Director will participate in developing the Gallery's mission statement.
There may also be the possibility of some teaching in appropriate
circumstances.  The College already has a small staff attached to the Gallery
which will likely be augmented after discussions with the new Director.  The
Director reports to the President of the College.  Candidates should possess
an appropriate master's degree, an advanced degree in the fine arts, or
equivalent experience.  Previous experience in a museum or gallery environment
is strongly preferred.

Founded in 1846, Grinnell College enrolls about 1,300 undergraduate students
from every state and the District of Columbia in the United States and 40
other countries.  The College's primary mission is to provide students with a
broad, deep, and life-enhancing education that includes professional success,
but also personal growth and social responsibility.  Grinnell College offers
an exceptional, rigorous, comprehensive, and opportunity-rich educational
experience which has, at its heart, one-on-one interactions between students,
faculty, alumni, and staff.  Grinnell College is consistently ranked among the
top nationally selective liberal arts colleges in the United States and also
consistently ranks in the top ten among all colleges and universities in
endowment resources per student; the top twenty in alumni gifts per student.
Additional information can be found at the college's web site:
<www.grinnell.edu>.

Application Process: To be assured of consideration submit a letter of
application, a resume, and a list of three employment references to: Ms. Jan
A. Veach, Office of Human Resources, Grinnell College, P.O. Box 805, Grinnell,
IA  50112 by February 10, 1999. The position will remain open until filled.

Grinnell College is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer committed
to employing a highly qualified staff which reflects the diversity of the
nation. No applicant shall be discriminated against on the basis of race,
national or ethnic origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status,
religion, creed or disability.
