OH! Open House is an independent arts organisation that tells alternative stories of Singapore through art. Since 2009, we have provided more than 70,000 people with the unique experience of appreciating art and heritage outside of museums and galleries – from strangers’ homes to underutilised public spaces. We work with artists to present art in unconventional locations, or in surprising new ways. Through our diverse programmes, OH! creates opportunities to understand and connect with the everyday on a more meaningful level.
OH! Open House is looking for our next Community & Arts Management Executive. You will be the key person building and nurturing relationships with the people who make our work possible - from volunteers (the face and voice of OH!) to educators, patrons, partners, and community members. You'll also develop and deliver programmes for these stakeholders, helping to create meaningful encounters between people, places, and art.
At OH!, we believe every place has stories worth telling. Through our projects, we uncover overlooked stories and invite people to see Singapore in new ways. Joining us means helping ensure that the stories of individuals, communities, and our shared landscape are remembered, celebrated, and passed on.
When you join OH!, you become part of a close-knit network of staff, artists, volunteers, and supporters who bring ambitious ideas to life together. We work hard, but we also make time to learn, explore, and have fun - whether that's visiting exhibitions, attending artist talks, discovering new neighbourhoods, or simply sharing a meal.
If you're excited by people, storytelling, and the opportunity to create meaningful arts experiences with communities, we'd love to hear from you.
