The Museum of Contemporary Art Tucson seeks an Executive Director to provide visionary leadership, coordinate programming, manage operations and collaborate with local and international partners.
MOCA’s mission is to inspire new ways of thinking through the cultivation, interpretation, and exhibition of contemporary art.
MOCA operates as a “kunsthalle” which does not collect or house a permanent collection and instead maintains a focus on the commissioning and exhibition of new works by emerging and established artists.
Founded by artists in 1997, MOCA Tucson has attained a regional, national and international reputation as an outstanding contemporary art museum, and is recognized as the premier alternative artist-centered space in Tucson, the greater Southwest and the borderlands. MOCA is committed to commissioning and exhibiting artwork by locally and internationally recognized, emerging and established artists and seeks to foster their career development. With two to four exhibitions annually, an active artist-in-residence program and an ambitious event schedule—which includes lectures, performances, educational and social programs, and children’s activities—MOCA invites applications for Executive Director.
The new ED will lead the organization to sustained growth in visitorship and membership with excellence in exhibitions, programming, and arts education.
