Social Media Manager

Amant is a nonprofit arts organization located in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, with a satellite residency campus in Siena, Italy. We provide a platform for international contemporary artists across disciplines through exhibitions, public programs, residencies, and publishing initiatives. Our campus—free and open to the public—includes exhibition galleries, a bookstore, a café (Kis), a garden, and a performance space. 

We’re seeking a strategic and creatively driven Social Media Manager to lead the day-to-day planning, content creation, and execution of our digital presence across three interlinked entities: Amant’s contemporary art programming, Kis Café, and a new restaurant opening at the end of 2025. The ideal candidate is a sharp communicator with an eye for design and a deep understanding of contemporary culture, hospitality, and the visual arts. 

This is an exciting opportunity to shape how Amant’s voice, vision, and values are experienced online—merging art, food, architecture, and public programming into one cohesive and compelling digital ecosystem.

You Might Be a Fit If You...
