Gallery Coordinator

Gallery Coordinator:

Lilienthal Gallery is a contemporary art space based in Knoxville, TN, that exhibits diverse styles and mediums, from both international and local origins, both established and emerging artists. The gallery’s programming includes artists collected by the Smithsonian, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and shown at the MoMA.

As the gallery grows in the coming year, we are seeking a Gallery Coordinator to actively contribute to our collaborative work environment. As a small business, all gallery staff are involved with a variety of projects and wear many hats. Self-starters with ambitious ideas are welcomed! Bring your creative energy and love of art.

The Gallery Coordinator serves as a key member of Lilienthal Gallery, supporting daily operations, exhibitions programming, visitor and collector relations, registrar tasks, and marketing assistance.

The gallery hosts four exhibitions a year with both local and international artists. Lilienthal also offers art advisory services to work directly with clients like interior designers and architects to provide custom curation for commercial and residential projects.

In the coming year, the gallery will move to a larger location in downtown Knoxville. As such, there are growth opportunities as the gallery develops the scale of its programming and roster of artists. The Gallery Coordinator will play an important role in this transitional period to help bring the gallery to its next chapter in the Onyx Art Hotel.
