Catharine Clark Gallery is hiring a 4/5th* time Preparator (Tuesday - Friday; salaried with contribution to health care after 3 months). The ideal candidate will have a minimum of three years of experience working with installation, lighting, storage, organization, packing and shipping, and will be comfortable moving a wide range of art objects, including works that are heavy or awkward. The position requires driving a truck or van when needed. We are seeking a fun, kind, creative, self-directed, problem-solving team member, who is self-motivated, collaborative, interested in the arts and artists, and pays attention to detail. The gallery has its own tools, so they are not a requirement for employment in this position.
4/5* time = Generally the required days for this position are from Tuesday – Friday, however, when it is an installation week (we plan our shows 6 – 18 months in advance), then the work week is Sunday through Thursday or Friday, depending on the demands of the exhibition. It is a requirement that the weeks of installation are completely unscheduled outside of what is needed for completing the exhibition installation. Any other weeks, the Preparator can take outside work, as long as it does not disrupt or conflict with the Tuesday through Friday required work week.
