Gallery Da Vinci | Downtown Pleasanton, CA

Part-Time / Volunteer + Stipend | Immediate Opening

About Gallery Da Vinci

Gallery Da Vinci is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit art gallery located in the heart of downtown Pleasanton on Main Street. Founded in April 2025, we have proudly hosted six to seven art exhibitions in our first year, building a vibrant creative community in the Tri-Valley area. We are now transitioning to a fully cooperative gallery model with 10 to 20 member artists, and we are seeking a passionate and established artist to serve as our inaugural Art Director.

Position Summary

The Art Director is a leadership role responsible for overseeing the overall operations, programming, marketing, staffing, and logistics of Gallery Da Vinci. This is an ideal opportunity for a serious, established artist who wants to gain significant visibility and exposure in the Pleasanton and greater Tri-Valley market while giving back to the local arts community.

Compensation & Membership Benefits

Free gallery membership for the duration of the role (a $200/month value — standard members pay $200/month with a minimum one-year commitment)
A $500 per-show stipend for each art exhibition organized and executed
Reduced commission rate: The Art Director pays 0% commission on sales during their tenure
Prominent exposure and marketing support in the Pleasanton and Tri-Valley market
The opportunity to lead and shape a growing nonprofit gallery community

Key Responsibilities

Gallery Operations & Administration

Oversee day-to-day operations of the gallery, ensuring smooth and professional functioning
Coordinate scheduling, logistics, and execution of all gallery exhibitions and events
Manage gallery staffing, volunteer coordination, and member artist relations
Maintain compliance with 501(c)(3) nonprofit requirements and gallery policies

Exhibition Programming

Plan and curate rotating art exhibitions approximately every six weeks (six to seven shows per year) featuring member artists
Organize one dedicated annual exhibition showcasing high schools and local community colleges students and youth student artwork
Coordinate co-hosted charity exhibitions with local nonprofit organizations; oversee the auction process including open bid and blind bid formats where each artist sets a reserve price
Facilitate the auction revenue structure: the artist receives their full reserve price; any amount sold above the reserve price is split 50/50 between the partnering local charity and the gallery
Encourage and support member artists in organizing workshops, classes, and demonstrations

Marketing & Community Outreach

Develop and execute marketing strategies to promote the gallery, exhibitions, and events to the local and regional community
Manage social media, email communications, press releases, and gallery website content
Build and maintain relationships with local businesses, schools, charities, and community organizations
Promote the gallery's three core missions: member artist exhibitions, youth arts education, and charity partnerships

Our Three Missions

1. Member Artist Exhibitions: Rotating shows every six weeks, co-hosted with local charities, featuring auction-based art sales. Each artist sets a reserve price and receives that amount in full. Any sale amount above the reserve price is split 50/50 between the gallery and the partnering local charity.

2. Youth Arts Education: Promoting art education through workshops, classes, and demos by member artists, including one dedicated annual high school student exhibition. Artist-instructors enjoy a reduced 10% commission rate.

3. Charity & Community: Partnering with local charities to co-host exhibitions and auctions that give back to the Pleasanton and Tri-Valley community.

Gallery Commission Structure (Member Reference)

Art Director: 0% commission (free membership)
Teaching artists (workshops/classes/demos): 10% commission
Active participating member artists: 20% commission
Non-participating member artists: 40% commission
Standard membership fee: $200/month | Minimum commitment: 1 year

Ideal Candidate

An established, serious visual artist with a strong body of work and professional exhibition history
Passionate about building a thriving arts community in the Pleasanton and Tri-Valley area
Experience or strong interest in gallery management, arts administration, or nonprofit operations
Strong communication, organizational, and marketing skills
Collaborative team player with a commitment to community engagement and youth arts education
Desire to gain greater market exposure and visibility in the East Bay / Tri-Valley region

Membership & Application Process

All artists wishing to join Gallery Da Vinci — including as Art Director — must go through an evaluation process and may be placed on a waiting list.

The Art Director position includes complimentary membership for the duration of the role. All other member positions, once available, require a $200/month fee with a minimum one-year commitment.
