Responsibilities

• Shoot and edit photo and video of artwork, artists at work, gallery moments, events, and new arrivals
• Write the majority of day-to-day marketing content: captions, emails, artist features, event blurbs, and website updates
• Build and maintain a lightweight content library — reusable copy, image folders, artist notes, story ideas— so marketing is not recreated from scratch every week
• Help each gallery sound like itself: warm, credible, artful, and appropriate to the work being shown
• Run Instagram for both galleries — posts, Stories, Reels, and basic engagement
• Build and send email campaigns using the gallery email platform
• Keep both gallery websites current and accurate
• Support promotion for shows, First Friday openings, and guest artist events, plus selected local media and art-publication placements when directed
• Keep the CRM cleaner and easier to segment over time, and support email list growth
• Maintain a simple weekly marketing dashboard once the measurement structure is in place
• Bring honest observations about what is working across channels, and use the numbers to improve execution
• Attend monthly First Friday openings
• Spend time in-gallery weekly or every other week to understand the work, capture content, and get the pulse of visitors and collectors
• Support promotion for gallery events, guest artist shows, and private viewings
• Help build relationships with Visit Bend, local hotels, restaurants, and the broader Bend arts ecosystem

Requirements

• 3+ years of hands-on marketing, content, communications, social, email, or related experience
• You write clearly and warmly: a caption people want to read, an email that sounds human, and a short artist feature that does not feel generic
• You can shoot and edit basic photo and video yourself — this part matters
• You have run Instagram and/or email at a real cadence, and can use a CMS, email platform, CRM, and basic reporting tools (or learn them quickly)
• You are comfortable in the gallery: talking with visitors, asking good questions, representing the galleries well, and listening for useful stories
• You are organized enough to manage a content calendar, deadlines, and recurring weekly work
• You genuinely love art. Prior gallery experience is not required, but curiosity and care are

Preferred

• A real plus : Experience in galleries, the art world, luxury brands, high-end hospitality, design, architecture, travel, or another field where taste, atmosphere, and customer experience matter

Benefits

• Gallery event access
• Artwork discount
• Partnership with an owner who values marketing
