Temp-to-Possible-Hire | $35.00/hour | 20–25 hours/week | Mission District, San Francisco

A well-established, 13-year-old contemporary art gallery in the Mission District is seeking a Gallery Associate for a temp-to-possible-hire position. This role blends day-to-day operations and administrative support with occasional public-facing responsibilities, including meeting clients and attending gallery events.

• Provide administrative and operational support for daily gallery functions
• Occasionally meet with clients and represent the gallery at events
• Help keep exhibitions and general gallery operations running smoothly

Qualifications

• Experience in retail, art, and/or administrative work preferred
• Comfortable in both public-facing and behind-the-scenes roles
• An interest in contemporary art is a strong plus
• Reliable, detail-oriented, and professional

Schedule
20 to 25 hours per week, a mix of in-office and remote work.
