Employment
Executive Director
The Arts Guild of Old Forge was founded by Miriam Kashiwa in 1951 when she first organized an arts show on her front lawn with paintings displayed on chicken wire. From this humble beginning, moving all over town from the first hall to the former Nathan’s Bakery and a room in the Masons’ building to the Thendara train station and then for 30+ years in a former boat repair shop, the Arts Center has flourished, growing steadily to become a year-round multi-arts organization, hosting significant regional and national exhibitions. In 2011, the Arts Center/Old Forge moved across New York State Route 28 into its new facility, and was branded “View.”
Responsibilities: The responsibilities of this position range from management of daily operations to providing institutional vision guided by the values of View and its Board of Directors including external relations, fundraising, board relations, marketing, and acting as Chief spokesperson for View.
Experience: Candidates for Executive Director should have previous career work experience that clearly demonstrates leadership and management of complex and dynamic organizations through the development of growth and change. Candidates from outside of a not-for-profit learning institution will be considered. It is essential that the candidate demonstrates the ability to plan, implement, administer, evaluate, communicate, and develop resources that are critical to a successful operation.
Education: Minimum of an undergraduate degree in a business/arts/financial discipline required. An advanced degree is preferred.
Compensation: Salary commensurate with qualifications and experience. Relocation assistance and a benefits package are negotiable.
View is an EEO employer.
