The Opportunity

The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art seeks a creative, entrepreneurial, and passionate Executive Director to carry forward its mission for the next decade and beyond. A unique institution, The Carle is a multifaceted museum which celebrates book illustration as an art form, highlighting the work of its co-founder Eric Carle and hundreds of other influential picture book illustrators, from the nineteenth century to the present.
