We are Guggenheim, a global constellation of museums unlike any other in the world. Four museums on three continents, united by the power of groundbreaking art to connect us to ourselves and to each other. Since our founding in 1937, the Guggenheim has introduced, celebrated and brought to the public the newest voices and visions in modern and contemporary art. When Solomon R. Guggenheim and Hilla Rebay set out to share the joy they first experienced in discovering experimental art, they initiated the creative risk-taking that is today synonymous with “Guggenheim” throughout the world. Across the globe, each Guggenheim stands not just as a backdrop for visionary art but as masterpieces in and of themselves to experience.

Working independently and reporting to the Associate Director of Special Events within the Individual Giving and Special Events department, the Manager of Special Events will provide critical management of special events, including rentals, licensed shoots, fundraisers, exhibition openings, and cultivation events. The Manager of Special Events will play a crucial role in booking, prospecting, and stewarding revenue-generating rental events and location shoots for clients and donors in the various museum spaces, including the Wright Restaurant, Ronald O. Perelman Rotunda, and Peter B Lewis Theater.
