The New Museum is a leading destination for new art and new ideas. It is Manhattan's only dedicated contemporary art museum 

Reporting to the Associate Director, the Program Manager is responsible for managing NEW INC’s Professional Development program and communicating the details of our program activities to our members. Our values-centered Professional Development program is designed for artists and designers establishing or growing their professional studios, or founders who are launching a new creative venture. Over the course of an 11-month period, September-July, we provide our incubator members with a series of workshops and learning opportunities that helps them to establish their identity, values, and goals, and to learn the fundamentals essential to managing and growing a sustainable practice, studio, or business. Through your efforts, our rich member community will feel supported and informed and will leave NEW INC better prepared to drive a resilient creative practice.
NEW INC’s core Professional Development program has been hosted virtually since March 2020, and going into our next program year (beginning Sept 2022) we are aiming to deliver a hybrid program that allows for in-person participation. We’ve moved into a temporary space that allows for some hybrid conferencing and activities.
This is a full-time position with regular working hours of 40hrs per week, Monday to Friday, 10:00 am – 6:00 pm. Occasional evening and weekend work may be required for special events. This position is a union-represented position subject to terms of the Museum’s agreement with Local 2110, UAW, and is eligible for the New Museum’s employee benefits programs.
