Managing Director

Managing Director

In May 2025, Grounds For Sculpture (GFS) and Johnson Atelier became one unified body, forming a dynamic new catalyst for the production, conservation, and exhibition of large-scale, high-caliber sculptures, and amplified art experiences. This union cements artist and founder Seward Johnson’s legacy, and his vision for Grounds For Sculpture and Johnson Atelier to work as one body.

Rooted in Seward Johnson’s radical approach to discovery and making the arts available to all, these two institutions have given artists unprecedented access to tools for sculpture production and invited the public to engage with contemporary sculpture collections and exhibitions for half a century. Grounds For Sculpture and the Johnson Atelier have always worked side by side. The result of this union will be a singular, distinct model that realizes Seward’s vision and best positions Grounds For Sculpture as a leader in supporting a globally diverse generation of artists.

The Johnson Atelier (“the Atelier”) is hiring for two critical roles: A Managing Director who is responsible for leading and overseeing the Atelier as an artistically distinguished and financially sustainable enterprise, with day to day management and oversight of the revenue and expense sides of the business; and a Senior Director of Business Development who will represent the Atelier externally with artists, galleries, architecture and design studios, set designers for theatre, film and television/streaming, along with collectors and partners in the field, with the goal of building and sustaining relationships with clients, expanding the Atelier project pipeline, and driving earned revenue.
