Freelance Exhibition Manager

Avant Arte wants to make art radically more accessible for a new generation. 

The company began as a cult blog of contemporary artists and grew organically into the world’s largest and most engaged online art community, with more than 2 million of their followers under the age of 35. The company collaborates with iconic contemporary artists like Jenny Holzer, Cai Guo-Qiang, Claire Tabouret, Tschabalala Self and Piet Parra, making their work more accessible to younger collectors through sculpture editions, print editions and unique works on paper of exceptional quality. 

The company’s vision is to inspire a generation of millions of young people who love art like they love music and who collect works like they build their wardrobe. 

We are looking for a passionate Amsterdam based freelance exhibition manager to coordinate and project manage an exhibition in November 2026. The main task will be cross functional coordination across production of the artworks, installation and art handling, shipping and logistics of the venue as well ensuring that on site sales requirements (ie. POS) are set up and the exhibition stays within budget. 

The work will be predominantly remote but we do have a warehouse located in Amsterdam-zuidoost, the Netherlands, should any in-person work be required.

The freelance contract will be arranged with a total fee of €5,500 across the below hours. Any overtime will be agreed in advance at €25 / Hour (VAT included).

To work as a freelancer you will need to have a KvK number.
