Known for representing a diverse roster of mid-career and established contemporary artists, PRG values our long-lasting relationships with artists, collectors, and enthusiasts.

We value adaptability, commitment, warmth, kindness, high energy and creative thinkers for this role.

- Highly organized, detail oriented, and strong time-management skills

- Strong sense of integrity, trustworthiness, and responsibility
- Able to work with limited supervision as well as cooperatively in a small collaborative team
- Superior computer skills. Mac/Apple and Microsoft Office Suite required; Adobe Creative Suite preferred. General ability to easily navigate technology.
- Experience or willingness to learn best practices in art handling and installation
- Willingness to learn about represented artists at the gallery, including their technique and background
