OVERVIEW: As a member of the Public Engagement team, the Public Engagement Associate will enhance the Seattle Art Museum’s (SAM) mission to connect with diverse communities by coordinating public programs, community partnerships, and art resources. This role is focused on the museum’s Free First Thursday evening program, a monthly downtown event that engages visitors with SAM’s galleries through talks, tours, performances, and other interpretive activities. Additionally, the associate will provide administrative support to the Education & Public Engagement division. Please note, that this position is grant-funded through October 2026 with the possibility of becoming permanent.
SAM is dedicated to racial equity and strives for employees, volunteers, and interns who are passionate, qualified, and offer diverse perspectives. SAM prioritizes racial equity in the workplace because we know that people of color are the most impacted when it comes to inequities. We are particularly interested in engaging with historically under-represented groups in the museum field as we strive to be inclusive and equitable. SAM is responsive to cultural communities and experiences, and our strategic plan goals address the role art plays in empowering social justice and structural change to promote equity in our society. Please submit complete applications by 5:00pm (pst) July 31, 2024.
