I know this blog has got to stop being “all National Academy, all the time.” But first, I feel compelled to relay this timely job posting:
Date posted: 12/18/2008
Application deadline: 1/15/2009
The National Academy Museum and School of Fine Arts seeks a development
assistant to join the National Academy’s development team.
Development team? I thought director Carmine Branagan had indicated they didn’t have one. (“A fundraising structure has never been built here.”) I guess the art sale proceeds, as she had told me, will pay for the new hire.
Interested CultureGrrl readers can learn more about this position and the requisite qualifications by clicking the link at the top of this post. An appreciation for the importance of Frederic Church and Sanford Gifford is not essential, or even desirable. Your responsibilities will including “assist[ing] the Director of Development and Senior Development Officer.”
There ARE such persons? Where were they when the Academy really needed them?
