Current company

Henry Art Gallery

Museums; Historical Sites; and Zoos · 49 employees · Founded 1927 · Seattle, United States

The Henry is internationally recognized for bold and challenging exhibitions, for pushing the boundaries of contemporary art and culture, and for being the first to premiere new works by established and emerging artists. Founded in 1927, we are the only Northwest institution that focuses on researching, presenting, and preserving contemporary art. With our location on the University of Washington’s campus, one of the nation\'s top research universities, we are also a test site and laboratory for creative thinking and new ideas. OUR MISSION, VISION, & VALUES The Henry’s mission is to engage all people in the transformative power of contemporary art and ideas. We envision a world where art leads everyone to discover new possibilities in themselves, others, and the world around them. Core values include collaboration, risk taking, accountability, openness to uncertain outcomes, innovation and discovery, racial equity and social justice, and inclusion. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER The Henry is an Equal Opportunity employer. We are committed to providing a positive work environment for employees, students, volunteers, and artists. Diverse perspectives make us stronger. Black, Indigenous, and People of Color are encouraged to apply. OUR COMMITMENT TO EQUITY AND INCLUSION The Henry acknowledges the historical structures and social dynamics that have continuously oppressed communities of color and we acknowledge our part in institutional racism. We also acknowledge that we are situated on the land of the Coast Salish peoples. We are actively committed to racial equity and to building a strong foundation of inclusivity and awareness in all we do. We value discourse that brings forward voices and positions that have been – and continue to be – oppressed. We do not tolerate hate speech or actions. We recognize that we are in the process of embodying these values across our exhibitions, programs, and operations; this is our ongoing work.
