Charlottesville VA United States Association of Academic Museums & Galleries. Full time
J. Sanford Miller Family Director – Fralin Museum of Art, University of Virginia

The University of Virginia (UVA) seeks a collaborative, creative, and strategic leader to serve as the J. Sanford Miller Family Director of The Fralin Museum of Art. Together with UVA’s Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection, The Fralin Museum anchors a dynamic arts ecosystem within a research university with a distinctive commitment to undergraduate teaching, and in active engagement with the vibrant and progressive Charlottesville arts community.

The next Director will arrive at The Fralin at a moment of tremendous promise, joining dedicated staff, and colleagues at the Kluge-Ruhe Collection to consider what shape University art museums might take in the 21st century. The Director will have the opportunity to participate in planning for an anticipated new Center for the Arts, which is envisioned to include new space to house the University’s museums. While still dependent on securing state and philanthropic support, the proposed project will allow the University to envision a new home for integrated arts programs in an exciting multi-disciplinary precinct.

Among the animating questions on the horizon: How might we best position the University of Virginia to be a leader in the visual arts and the study of indigenous cultures? What opportunities might we have to plan both for our current collections and for emergent forms of digital and new media?

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

The Director will bring a keen awareness of the critical need for museums to adapt and thrive in the digital age, and a deep commitment to leading the museum into the digital age while fostering strong interdisciplinary practice. The Director will empower, support, lead, and develop a dedicated professional staff. They will ensure that strategic objectives are collectively agreed upon, effectively implemented, and realized in a fiscally responsible manner. The Director will advance the University’s commitment to Inclusive Excellence, supporting The Fralin’s ongoing work in DEAI internally and strengthen the internal culture.

IDEAL EXPERIENCE

The ideal candidate will demonstrate a collaborative leadership style, broad vision and curiosity, empathy, and a demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, access, and inclusion. The candidate will bring a track record of senior-level leadership experience and the ability to motivate staff, donors, board members, and the broader community around a shared vision. A Master’s degree is required, PhD preferred, in Art History or a related field. Additional qualifications include:

  1. Leadership and Management: Proven leader of both people and programs; record of strategic planning and implementation. Significant experience in an art museum setting and a proven ability to collaborate within a complex organization.
  2. Strategy and Vision: Proven record of strategic planning and implementation. Able to create and articulate an inspiring vision for the future of The Fralin.
  3. Fundraising and Donor Engagement: Experience building an institution’s funding base, in partnership with the Board, to increase and diversify financial support.
  4. Collaboration and Relationship Building: Brings exceptional interpersonal and relationship-building skills and the ability to establish strong relationships in both the University community and externally.
  5. Inclusive Management and Advocacy for DEAI: Must be able to create excitement and lead with inspiration, balanced with the judgment to provide consistent guidance and wellness to internal staff.

To apply, Workday applications should include a letter of interest and resume. The search will be carried out with full confidentiality. Confidential inquiries and nominations should be directed to Managing Director, Susan Gaines at
