The Schweinfurth Art Center (SAC) seeks a leader with creative and entrepreneurial drive to serve as their Executive Director (ED). For 44 years, SAC has locally and regionally been recognized as an exciting, inventive space for art education and exhibition. Nationally, SAC is known for its highly regarded focus on textile arts, particularly contemporary quilting.

The ED will lead a small internal team, and represent SAC to local and national donors, foundations, arts professionals and students, while upholding its values, (integrity; diversity, equity, access, and inclusion; excellence, generosity of spirit and lifelong learning). They will be effective administrators, working closely with SAC’s Board of Directors and staff to oversee artistic and educational programs, strategy and goal setting, finance and budgeting, fundraising and development efforts, and marketing and communications.
