ARTJOBS.us – Professional opportunities in the arts

ARTJOBS.us  is a specialized job board focused on professional opportunities in the arts, culture, education, theatre, museum/gallery, music, and related creative fields. It mainly serves the United States (with some coverage of Canada and occasional international postings) and connects employers/institutions with job seekers through paid job listings and resume postings.

 

Primary Job Categories

Employers select from these categories when submitting listings (with dedicated pages for browsing):

• Arts and Culture — Broader roles in arts organizations, nonprofits, development, operations, leadership, communications, and creative services. Examples include executive directors, chief development officers, studio coordinators, independent art specialists (freelance), operations managers, and program assistants at cultural centers, dance groups, or institutions.
• Education (or Arts Education/School) — Teaching, faculty, administrative, and instructional roles in arts-related academic settings (universities, colleges, conservatories, schools of theatre/dance/art). Examples include assistant/associate professors (e.g., creative arts, dance, theatre design, playwriting, costume technology), deputy directors of programs/operations, development managers for arts education nonprofits, and art models.
• Museum and Gallery — Curatorial, collections, registration, conservation, librarian, exhibition, retail, and management roles at museums and galleries. Examples include curators/associate curators, head registrars, museum librarians, research assistants, gallery managers/associates, conservation fellowships, and development/fundraising positions at institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, or regional museums.
• Theatre — Performing arts, production, management, technical, and related roles in theatres and performing arts centers (sometimes overlapping with education or broader arts). Examples include executive directors, company managers, associate producers, directors of patron engagement, technical/shop roles (e.g., lead carpenter, shop foreman), marketing coordinators, and teaching positions in dramatic arts.
• Music — Positions connected to music organizations, ensembles, festivals, or education (dedicated category page available).
• Library — Library-specific roles, often in art, museum, or cultural contexts (e.g., museum librarians or specialized cataloging).
• Other — Catch-all for related or miscellaneous careers that do not fit neatly into the above.

The job submission form also references options such as “call for artists” alongside the main categories (arts and culture, education, museum and gallery, theatre, music, other).

Additional Ways Jobs Are Organized

• Job types/employment status: Full-time, part-time, contract, internship, freelance, temporary, and similar. These appear prominently in listings and filters.
• Location: Browseable by U.S. state (e.g., New York, California, Illinois, Massachusetts), overall United States, Canada, or outside the USA. Many current openings cluster in major cultural hubs like New York.
• Featured listings: Paid upgrades that appear at the top of the homepage, category pages, and are promoted on social media (including the associated X account @JOBSartsearch).

Context and Features

Listings typically come from museums, galleries, theatres, universities/colleges, arts nonprofits, festivals, and related organizations. Recent examples include curatorial fellowships, registrars, development roles, faculty positions, executive leadership, technical theatre staff, and freelance art specialists.

Job seekers can post resumes for free (searchable by employers). Employers pay for postings via packages (e.g., single jobs for 30/60/90 days, multi-job packs, or unlimited annual plans), with occasional promo codes for discounts. Featured options and social promotion are available.

For the latest openings, visit the main site (artjobs.artsearch.us) and browse by the category links above, location, or keyword. Categories can have some overlap (e.g., a theatre education role might appear under Education or Theatre), so checking multiple sections is useful.
