ABOUT THE TEAM<\/strong><\/p>\n Boston Art Review is committed to publishing diverse perspectives from underrepresented voices in contemporary art. In turn, our team should reflect the demographics of the communities we serve. We prioritize inclusivity and intersectionality, we are non-hierarchical, and we operate with an artists-first approach. We are a queer- and women-led organization. Together we produce two print publications annually, create a curated weekly calendar of local art events, host community programs, present an emerging writing fellowship program, and publish online stories.<\/p>\n ABOUT POSITION<\/strong><\/p>\n The Managing Editor will support our next chapter by working directly with our executive director on developing sustainable systems for Boston Art Review\u2019s growth.
