Description

Fredericks & Freiser, a contemporary art gallery in Chelsea, seeks a full-time Gallery Assistant. This is an in-person, entry-level role—but not an internship or a casual foot in the door. We are looking for someone ready to take the work seriously and contribute meaningfully from day one. You’ll be involved in all aspects of gallery operations—from front-of-house to back-end logistics—working directly with gallery owners, artists, collectors, and the public.


The ideal candidate has a professional demeanor, strong organizational skills, and a genuine interest in a long-term career in the art world.


REQUIREMENTS:

  • B.A. in Art History or related field
  • Strong working knowledge of contemporary art
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • High level of organization and attention to detail
  • Basic proficiency in Photoshop and InDesign; database experience preferred
  • Ability to remain composed and proactive in a fast-paced environment


KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Manage front desk: greet visitors, answer calls, field inquiries with confidence and clarity
  • Coordinate exhibition logistics: shipments, consignment agreements, freelance installers, and photography
  • Maintain the gallery calendar; support planning for installations, art fairs, and events
  • Assist with registrar duties and inventory management (ArtBase experience a plus)
  • Contribute to online gallery updates (Photoshop proficiency expected)
  • Provide administrative support to gallery directors and artists


About the Gallery:

Fredericks & Freiser was founded in 1996 and is one of the original galleries of the Chelsea art scene. We represent a focused group of emerging and established artists through solo exhibitions, historical

projects, and art fair participation. Our program is committed to artists whose work challenges aesthetic conventions and contributes to the broader conversation of 20th and 21st-century art.
