Position Summary
The Frye Art Museum seeks an Associate Director of Creative Aging Programs (“Associate Director”) to lead all programmatic activities, inside and outside the museum’s walls, dedicated to engaging older adults in multidisciplinary arts-based learning.
Since 2010, Frye has been a pioneer in the field of Creative Aging programs for adults living with dementia and their care partners. As a new member of the Learning & Engagement team, the Associate Director will play a vital role in nurturing and expanding existing programs while also spearheading the development of new programs that deepen and broaden community engagement, foster wellness, encourage creativity, and support lifelong learning for older adults.

Our diverse programs engage individuals and groups of all ages in visual thinking strategies, hands-on art-making, and interdisciplinary performances, and talks. We prioritize creative partnerships that further social, racial, and environmental justice, particularly with systemically marginalized communities. Our mission is to advance accessibility, foster intergenerational exchange, and nurture lifelong learning across and through the museum.
