Gilcrease Museum, which houses an interdisciplinary collection representing the diverse heritage of the Americas, seeks an intellectually curious, creative, and self-motivated individual to be its inaugural Assistant Curator of Latin American Art and Culture.

The Assistant Curator of Latin American Art and Culture will lead exhibitions, acquisitions, research, and interpretation within Gilcrease’s broad visual culture and archival collections. These include fine art from the 16th through 20th centuries from throughout the Americas, ranging from Spanish colonial retablos and work by Juan Correa to paintings, drawings, and prints by Diego Rivera, Miguel Covarrubias, José Clemente Orozco, Maria Izquierdo, and Rufino Tamayo, as well as recent work by Mexican folk and self-taught artists. In addition, Gilcrease holds one of the most significant collections in the United States of manuscripts, documents, and rare books pertaining to European settlement and conflicts across New Spain, from the Caribbean and present-day Mexico to South America, dating from the 16th to 19th centuries. These objects’ stories are intricately intertwined with other museum holdings, notably collections of cultural material spanning more than 2,000 years, including works by Incan, Moche, Mayan, Panamanian (Gran Coclé), Mixtec, Aztec, Zapotec, Toltec, and West Mexican (Occidentale) creators. Furthermore, Gilcrease has nearly encyclopedic representation of Taos School artists and broad artistic and historical collections pertaining to the American Southwest within its holdings of Indigenous and non-Indigenous objects from the present-day United States.

The Assistant Curator of Latin American Art and Culture will participate on a seven-member curatorial team and collaborate with other museum departments, reporting to the Director of Curatorial Affairs. Primary duties include researching and cataloguing the collection; developing dynamic long-term, temporary, and traveling exhibitions; identifying and bringing traveling exhibitions to Gilcrease; and raising national and international visibility for Gilcrease’s work and for its collections. This role will also promote equity and inclusion of the Latinx community around all Gilcrease exhibitions and programs, and it will build and maintain community relationships to collaboratively celebrate and advocate for Latin American art and culture for a variety of audiences and constituents.

Key Opportunities

The Assistant Curator of Latin American Art and Culture will join Gilcrease as the museum prepares for its public reopening in early 2027 in a new 83,500-square-foot building. With this watershed moment Gilcrease is also embracing an intersectional approach to managing and displaying its 200,000+ objects. This includes interdisciplinary galleries that juxtapose objects from different times, places, and cultures, as well as increased attention to Indigenous histories and makers. Recognition for the breadth and quality of the Latin American collections is integral to this interpretative plan, and as the inaugural team member in this role, the Assistant Curator of Latin American Art and Culture will shape and magnify the visibility of these works and their adjacent histories.

Although this position is not dedicated exclusively to works on paper, the strengths of the Gilcrease Collection favor a scholar with background and interest particularly for prints, books, maps, manuscripts, and other works on paper. Gilcrease has a works on paper conservation lab to support this collection.

Benefits: The benefits package includes medical, dental, and vision plan options, 401(k), paid time off, and a range of other benefits and privileges available to all University of Tulsa employees.

The annual starting salary range for this position is $44,500 – $47,500.

The Curatorial Fellow will work with Curator of Prints and Drawings on a project related to 20th-century American art and the watercolors of Andrew Wyeth. The fellowship is a part-time position, working 2 days per week for 60 weeks. This role will involve researching artworks through primary and secondary research, managing details on the exhibition checklist, assisting with didactic materials, and participating in public programming. The fellow will have the opportunity to learn about various aspects of exhibition and publication development by working closely with the curator on related tasks and may also assist with other projects related to modern and contemporary works on paper. The timing and hours of this fellowship can be flexible depending on the candidate’s schedule. The ideal candidate is a current or recent graduate student with an interest in works on paper.

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

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.
