A LUMAS galéria hálózat New York, London, Párizs, Berlin, Zürich és Bécs után 2012 márciusában Budapesten is megnyitja bemutatótermét. A galéria különlegessége, hogy egyedi koncepciójának és nagy szakértelmű kurátor csapatának köszönhetően egy rendkívül diverzifikált, számos világhírű és nemzetközileg elismert művészeket tömörítő portfólióval rendelkezik. A galéria több mint 160 művész munkáit kínálja a grafika, illetve a modern és kortárs fotóművészet iránt érdeklődőknek. A művész aláírásával ellátott, múzeum minőségű, eredeti fotográfiák, limitált (75-150 példány) kiadásban kerülnek bemutatásra, mely koncepció biztosítja mindenki számára az elérhető árat.

A galéria élére keresünk olyan lelkes, agilis, kellően kvalifikált, művészetekre fogékony és az üzleti életben egyaránt jártas vezetőt, aki érzi magában, hogy egy 3-5 fős csapattal együtt sikerre tudja vinni a galériát Magyarországon is.

Kérjük olvassák el a részletes munkaköri leírást és az ott meghatározott kritériumok szerint küldjék el jelentkezésüket.
