JRSP Educational Programme Director
The Jeffrey Rubinoff Sculpture Park
The Jeffrey Rubinoff Sculpture Park (JRSP) is seeking an accomplished scholar in art history, visual culture, or a closely related field to lead its educational portfolio at a pivotal moment in the development of the sculpture park’s intellectual mission. First opened to the public in 2008, the 200-acre sculpture park is home to a collection of over a hundred sculptures by Jeffrey Rubinoff. The JRSP has supported the study of art since 2008, with major donations to the University of Cambridge and the University of Victoria, as well as through its ongoing Company of Ideas Forums that take place every year on Hornby Island. In early 2017, it endowed an Educational Programme to ‘advance the understanding and appreciation of art as a source of knowledge, and to raise awareness of the art of Jeffrey Rubinoff’. This programme includes the Company of Ideas Forum, as well as an awards programme for a Postdoctoral Award, an Artist Residency Award, and Educators Award. In addition, the Educational Programme supports research and publishing on the subject of art and knowledge more generally. More information about JRSP can be found at www.rubinoffsculpturepark.org.
