[FAC] Arizona State University Museum Director

[Maria Franco]

m/Oppenheim Associates is assisting the Arizona State University (ASU) Art
Museum in a search for the organization's Director.  ASU is one of the
largest public universities in the United States. Under the visionary
leadership of President Michael Crow, ASU is becoming "The New American
University" -- a new model for American higher education which reflects an
unprecedented combination of academic excellence, broad access and impact.
ASU is seeking a transformative Director who will engage the university and
the broader community in Arizona in a dialogue about art and creativity, and
who will champion the unique contribution that a contemporary art museum can
make in evolving the model for The New American University.   The ASU Art
Museum, which includes the internationally renowned Ceramics Research
Center, is one of six units and an integral part of the Herberger College of
the Arts, ASU's fourth largest college with 3000 students. The Museum
Director reports to the Dean of the College, and currently manages a $1
million annual operating budget, 19 full time staff, 5 part time staff and
24 students serving in various capacities.  The Museum's collection
encompasses 12,500 works, including 5,100 prints, 3,500 ceramics and 1,100
Latin American works. Areas of emphasis in collecting and/or exhibiting are
contemporary art and new media, crafts (with an emphasis on contemporary
American and European studio ceramics), art from Arizona and the Southwest,
and works of Latino artists.  The Museum offers a range of programs that
leverage its regional and international connections and also emphasize the
central role of education in its mission. Diverse community partnerships
also allow the Museum to reach new audiences and to present art in
non-traditional, accessible and surprising ways. As the University seeks to
integrate more closely with the broader community, the Museum is also
expected to build on this solid foundation to enhance its reputation in the
community and to encourage new interest in Arizona State University art and
programs.
