Work at MassArt

At the MassArt exhibit, people interact amid ceramic vases on pedestals. Two individuals share a laugh under vibrant banners, while others admire the artwork. The gallery buzzes with creativity and community spirit, embodying the essence of artistic work and expression.

Join the MassArt team—and become an essential part of the Commonwealth’s art and design revolution.

The MassArt community is known for its excellence, professionalism, and cultural leadership throughout the Commonwealth. And we’re committed to attracting, awarding, and retaining talented faculty and staff who share our passion for art and design education.

When you work for MassArt, you become part of a creative ecosystem with a bold and lofty mission: prepare artists, designers, and educators from diverse backgrounds to shape communities, economies, and cultures for the common good. We collaborate across the College to design and deliver services that foster an equitable and welcoming campus culture.

Three people, possibly MassArt students or staff, stand smiling in an art gallery. The first person wears glasses and a patterned dress, the second sports a hat and dark jacket, while the third wears glasses and a beige sweater with a lanyard. Vibrant artworks are visible in the background.

A man in a black outfit and glasses stands next to a woman in a shirt with the days of the week written on it at what appears to be a MassArt gathering. The atmosphere is casual and social, with other people mingling around a table filled with snacks.

Four people sit on a bench against a brick wall, wearing conference lanyards. Three are engaged in conversation about work opportunities, while one holds a plate of food. They appear relaxed, with casual attire, in an outdoor setting at MassArt.
