About The Position
This is an exciting opportunity to join our team at the California African American Museum (CAAM). Founded in 1977, the California African American Museum's (CAAM) mission is to research, collect, preserve, and interpret, for public enrichment, the history, art, and culture of African Americans. In 1984, CAAM moved to its 44,000-square-foot home at Exposition Park, South of Downtown Los Angeles. With an emphasis on California and the western United States, the museum's permanent collection houses 4,000 objects, including paintings, photographs, film, sculpture, historical documents, and artifacts. CAAM avidly supports the work of under-represented artists of color to genuinely represent how people of the African diaspora have contributed to American culture and the world at large through temporary art and history exhibitions and public programming for visitors of all ages. CAAM seeks a Exhibit Designer-Coordinator to fill the role of Exhibitions Coordinator. Under the direction of the Deputy Director, the Exhibit Designer-Coordinator, performs work to oversee all aspects of exhibition design, development, installation, and maintenance. This includes project coordination, administrative oversight, and collaboration with professional staff to integrate exhibitions with the museum's broader plans and programs. Under the working title, Exhibitions Coordinator, the incumbent is responsible for preparing and finalizing exhibition designs for both the indoor and outdoor spaces, estimating costs, specifying materials and fabrication methods, and managing contracts while monitoring contractor progress. The Exhibit Coordinator also ensures proper fund allocation for assigned projects, maintains records, and develops maintenance schedules. Additionally, the incumbent represents CAAM's mission in meetings with community and professional organizations, provides training to staff on exhibit development, and upholds best practices in exhibition design and implementation.
