  • Work with Artist to set strategic goals, evaluate opportunities, and plan projects years into the future.
  • Liaise with galleries, curators, cultural institutions, press, clients, and the public, representing the Studio with integrity and professionalism.

  • A strong writer with proven skills in research, writing in a clear and approachable voice, reading comprehension, proofreading, and editing for length and clarity. Must be able to adapt to the Artist's voice and writing sensibility.
  • An open attitude to pitch in as needed, whether that means taking on a coworker's administrative task, assisting with artwork install, helping unload a delivery, or a marathon embroidery session to finish a fabrication project.
