The Cincinnati Art Museum (CAM) stewards an encyclopedic collection of more than 73,000 works of art spanning 6,000 years. The collection galleries are predominantly organized by geographic region, with rotating spaces dedicated to prints, photography, and textiles. In addition to collection galleries, the museum organizes and hosts numerous exhibitions each year in a series of rotating exhibition galleries. Through research, display, programming, and special events, the museum contributes to a more vibrant Cincinnati by inspiring its people and connecting its communities.

CAM seeks a fashion and textile curator at the Associate or Full level to fill a newly endowed curatorial position. The Mary W.

Manage Fashion Arts & Textiles department budget; work collaboratively with colleagues to plan and adhere to exhibition and programming budgets as required.
Build and maintain relationships with a range of museum constituents, including colleagues across the museum field, donors, dealers, collectors, docents, and artists.

Research and catalogue collection objects in TMS. Lecture on and publish original research on topics that center CAM’s collection, programming, and projects for both academic and general audiences.
Attend and participate in field-specific symposia, conferences, and lectures; visit museums and galleries in the U.S. and abroad; and represent CAM’s vision and values externally.
Research, recommend, propose, and secure new acquisitions (gifts and purchases) for CAM’s collections, including academic and provenance research.
Participate in Cincinnati’s broader arts ecosystem, including representing the museum at social and civic events and serving on internal and external committees or panels as applicable.
