The New York Yacht Club (NYYC), one of the world’s most prestigious private clubs, seeks a full-time Curator of Collections to steward, interpret, and promote its distinguished collection of ship models, silver trophies, maritime art, and historic furnishings. Based at the Club’s landmark clubhouse in midtown Manhattan—with additional responsibilities for the Club’s seasonal site in Newport, Rhode Island—the Curator is the sole collections professional on staff and plays a central role in preserving and presenting NYYC’s rich yachting heritage.
The Club’s collection is renowned for its craftsmanship, historical significance, and ties to some of the most prominent individuals in American sailing history. The new Curator will lead exhibition development, manage conservation priorities, oversee collections care, recommend acquisitions, create exhibitions, publish articles, and work closely with the Fine Arts and Models Committees. This is a rare opportunity for a seasoned curatorial professional to work in a hospitality-focused, member-driven setting that values professionalism, excellence, and respect for all staff.
