Assistant Curator, Prints, Drawings & Photographs

Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore, MD, United States
Applications due: 05/17/2025
Reporting to the Curator and Department Head of Prints, Drawings and Photographs, the
Assistant Curator will play an important role in helping to research, care for, and present over
68,000 works on paper housed within the Nancy Dorman and Stanley Mazaroff Center for the
Study of Prints, Drawings and Photographs at the Baltimore Museum of Art.

The Assistant Curator will serve as the content expert for all pre-1900 work in the collection. As
one of the largest works on paper collections in the country, the collection is currently known
for its strengths in European artworks, particularly the renowned Lucas Collection of 19th
century French art. In alignment with the BMA’s mission, the Assistant Curator will work to
expand the geographical breadth of the collection and center artists and histories traditionally
underrepresented in American art museums. Through exhibitions, written presentations, and
acquisitions, the Assistant Curator will also develop transcultural connections between the
BMA’s large collection of European works on paper and art from Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
As such, knowledge of European colonial histories will be helpful. Candidates with a background
in art of the Americas are particularly encouraged to apply.

The Assistant Curator will research object records for e-museum export, assist with annual
collection reporting, and assist with exhibition development, as assigned. Under supervision,
the Assistant Curator will be responsible for managing rotating installations of works on paper
in the permanent collection galleries. The position works closely and collaboratively with a
team of co-workers drawn from the Registration, Conservation, Marketing and Experience,
Education, and Exhibitions departments. The Assistant Curator will also help oversee activities
in the study room and participate in the day-to-day stewardship of the collection.

The position will have an active role in collections development and supporting the accessions
process, including researching and writing reports for proposed acquisitions, drafting scripts for
presentations, and helping to coordinate accessions committee meetings. The position will also
help promote greater knowledge of and research into the collection by liaising with
researchers, members of the public, and the university community; maintaining positive
relationships with internal and external BMA constituents, both locally and nationally; and
helping steward the department’s dedicated affiliate group, the Prints, Drawings &
Photographs Society.
