Reporting to the Board through its Chair and Executive Committee, the Executive Director will drive successive capital projects to build out the Arts Car Museum and redevelop the 10.5-acre campus that includes art, exhibition, education, programming and maker spaces. The capital and endowment campaign is expected to be $45m, of which about $10m has been raised.

The next deliverable will be the Education Center and Makers Spaces.

Orange Show Center for Visionary Art offers engaging experiences of visionary artists through extravagant, boundary-challenging events, exhibitions, installations, ArtHomes, maker spaces, education and programming. The Center has its genesis in thinking that connects self-taught outsider artists through history, from cave painters to today’s artists working with more sophisticated tools. The core of visionary art challenges conventions of what art is, who artists are, which tools are used for creating art, how art functions in society and in people’s lives, and how art can be experienced and enjoyed. The emphasis here is on joy, creation, and an embrace of new ideas that is open to, and actively engages with, different ways of being.

We appreciate you sharing the position description with your network, and also any nominations you might have.
