This is an exciting opportunity to join our team at the California African American Museum (CAAM). Founded in 1977, the California African American Museum's (CAAM) mission is to research, collect, preserve, and interpret, for public enrichment, the history, art, and culture of African Americans. In 1984, CAAM moved to its 44,000-square-foot home at Exposition Park, South of Downtown Los Angeles. With an emphasis on California and the western United States, the museum's permanent collection houses 4,000 objects, including paintings, photographs, film, sculpture, historical documents, and artifacts. CAAM avidly supports the work of under-represented artists of color to genuinely represent how people of the African diaspora have contributed to American culture and the world at large through temporary art and history exhibitions and public programming for visitors of all ages.
