Studio Content, PR & Operations Associate

ABOUT THE ROLE

An East Williamsburg - Brooklyn-based contemporary art studio is seeking a driven, creatively literate associate to manage the full external presence of its artist. This is a part-time contractor role for someone with genuine range: equally comfortable pitching an art publication, writing a collector email, and styling a studio set for filming.

We are looking for someone who moves with initiative and operates independently. Art world literacy and press relationships are a meaningful advantage.

• Write and send tailored pitches to editors, journalists, and bloggers
• Prepare and maintain press kits, artist bios, and image packages
• Research and submit to open calls, residencies, grant opportunities, and art fairs
• Track outreach, follow up consistently, and report on coverage
• Support gallery relationship management and partnership development

Studio Operations

• Maintain and style the physical studio sets used for filming and documentation
• Assist with in-studio photography and video documentation as needed
• Collaborate directly with the artist to align campaigns with artistic output and release timing

QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience pitching press and building media relationships — arts, culture, or gallery context preferred
• Strong writing across formats: social copy, email campaigns, press pitches, collector correspondence
• Genuine familiarity with the contemporary art world — galleries, publications, fairs, collector culture
• Ability to navigate and maintain multiple distinct artistic narratives without conflation
• Self-directed, organized, and thorough — closes loops without being asked
• Portfolio or work samples demonstrating brand range strongly preferred
