exhibits locally in Los Angeles to exhibiting at the Smithsonian Gallery
and the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington DC. One of our artists has
also shown in a fundraiser group exhibit with David Hockney, therefore
there is great potential in the type of work being sold. The Art Dealer
position would require going to restaurant owners, interior designers,
studio staging productions, home developers, contemporary furniture
outlets, offices, hotels and other relevant venues to acquire accounts
for multiple sales.

We are looking for a talented Fine Art Sales Associate or outside sales
person with these qualities:

1. Undergraduate degree in any of these fields: Fine Art,
Marketing, Design, Art History, Architecture and related fields.
2. Proven track record in sales and negotiations
3. Extremely resourceful and highly proficient at internet
research

6. Verbally articulate, enthusiastic and outgoing
7. Is creative in marketing and connecting with people and
businesses

art collectors

approach new clients

11. Has reliable transportation
12. Able to close sales and focus on results

14. Can work within a flexible schedule
15. Has general knowledge of digital image formatting, can

16. Comfortable with social media communication
17. Can work independently, but still works well with others

What this position does and does not offer:

1. Base salary of $20K + 25% commission on all art sales.
Presently our program, website and infrastructure have the
capability to provide $300K+ worth of artwork annually, making this
position potentially earn $95K+ annually if potential sales were
met. Our program continues to grown and we expect an increased
output of 10% year over year.25% of all art sales whether directly
or indirectly tied to the Art Dealer goes to the Art Dealer
position. In 2010 we grossed an estimated $40K work of art sales
without a sales associate, therefore there is realistic potential
to earn well above the base salary.
2. Health Insurance, sick and vacation hrs and 401K benefits are
available
3. Mileage and a $50 cell phone reimbursement are provided
monthly.

Our program has a website (www.artecf.org) for small and midsize artwork
and our artists also produce loft size paintings. Our administrative
infrastructure is in place to provide all the support this position
requires.
