Chicago Artists Coalition helps people connect with opportunities including calls for artists, jobs, and available studio space

DeGroot Fine Art (DFA), established in 2016, is a comprehensive art services firm. Based in Chicago, our art consultants work nationwide with corporate and private clients to manage art collections and provide creative collaborations that enrich the workspace, home, and local art community. We provide clients with a turnkey experience that meets deadlines and finds creative solutions for their individual goals and executive needs.

Built on years of experience managing, consulting, and curating a wide range of art collections, we provide a variety of art-focused offerings :

  • White glove professional installation, packing, crating, & transportation
  • Custom framing for new & repurposed artwork
  • Educational materials & signage
  • Custom fine art wall applications & commissions

About the Team

At DFA, our team is our greatest asset and key differentiator in the market we serve. While each of our five team members has distinct roles, we work collaboratively at every stage to deliver seamless, white glove-level service to our clients. Because no two projects are alike, our highly customized approach requires adaptability, teamwork, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. As outlined below, our hands-on approach requires every member to remain flexible in dynamic situations, supporting one another, at times outside of regular job functions, to achieve the collective goals of each project and deliver exceptional results.

About the Role

As a Project Associate, you will work closely with the Project Manager and broader team, playing a key role in the curation, coordination, and execution of fine art projects for corporate and private clients. This position requires you to be detail-oriented, proactive, and highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple responsibilities efficiently. Success in this role requires seamless collaboration with team members to ensure smooth project execution from start to finish, including both major and minor tasks. Given the unique and dynamic nature of each project, your adaptability and flexibility will be essential as priorities shift to meet client needs, deadlines, and evolving project objectives. This role is a stepping stone to becoming a Project Manager, offering rapid growth opportunities for qualified candidates.

Compensation

$22-$24 / hour with the potential to convert to perm / FT after 6 months.
