Cultural institution centering African diaspora art and artists
Studio Museum in Harlem is a nonprofit art museum founded in 1968 with 51–200 staff based in New York. The active hiring mix—heavy on interns and communications roles, light on permanent curatorial positions—reflects a reopening-phase operation scaling programs (fellowships, internships, professional development) rather than expanding permanent collections. Tech stack centers Adobe Creative Cloud and Shopify, with Tessitura (museum management software) and Rippling (HR) supporting backend operations; no recent platform migrations suggest stable tooling focused on immediate reopening and digitization priorities.

The Studio Museum in Harlem operates as a nexus for artists of African descent and work influenced by Black culture, serving local, national, and international audiences. The organization's current operational focus spans physical reopening, gallery preparation, and exhibition design alongside parallel investments in fellowship and internship programming, professional development offerings, and a comprehensive digitization initiative. The institution manages facilities compliance (green building standards, energy conservation), exhibition logistics, and donor relations across a nonprofit structure emphasizing emerging-talent development and community-facing programming.
Primary tools include Adobe Creative Cloud (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign), Shopify for e-commerce, Tessitura for museum operations management, Rippling for HR, and Microsoft 365 for productivity. A CMMS system handles facility maintenance.
Current projects include museum reopening, gallery preparation, exhibition creative solutions, digitization planning, fellowship and internship program development, visual identity implementation, building upgrades (MEP systems), and green building compliance initiatives.
