Summary Description:
Under the general supervision of the Arts Program Manager, the Visual Arts Specialist will perform a variety of duties to enhance the Museum visitor’s art experiences. The Visual Arts Specialist works in the LeRoy Neiman Art Studio facilitating interactive experiences for the visitors. While the Visual Arts Specialist is familiar with CDM’s exhibits, their primary responsibility is to facilitate programmatic hands-on art activities. Activities are designed by the Arts Program Manager and the education team to promote hands-on and inquiry-based learning. The Visual Arts Specialist will encourage children to explore, discover, ask questions, and raise curiosity throughout the visual art making process. Because this position includes working with the public directly, it requires a high level of interactive skill and judgment. Daily preparation of art materials and cleaning of the Neiman Art Studio is required. The Visual Arts Specialist should also be able to answer questions about the Art Gallery Space and activities facilitated by the CDM Artist-in-Residence.
