From SFMOMA's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is one of the largest museums of modern and contemporary art in the United States and a thriving cultural center for the Bay Area. We cannot imagine life without art; it inspires and connects us every day. Now more than ever, these connections matter and are aligned with our values.
Inclusive
: We strive to be a museum of many voices in dialogue.
Passionate
: We believe working with art is more than a job or trusteeship - it's a way of life.
Brave
: We are committed to approaching our work with courage and a sense of adventure, always ready to explore new perspectives.
Empathic
: We aim to act like a person, not an institution.
SFMOMA is a place for the infinitely curious to explore, support, and experience the art of our time. We believe that modern and contemporary art can influence the way we think, view the world, and embrace the many voices and perspectives around us. We aspire to foster an environment that elicits joy, nurtures a sense of belonging and purpose—where difference is seen as a strength, and every one is appreciated for their whole self.
