We're Hiring: Assistant Project Producer Learn exhibition-making from the inside.
What About Art is a Mumbai-based arts management agency specialising in exhibition design, production, and installation, alongside art conservation and collection management. We work with leading artists, institutions, and private collectors to deliver exhibitions of the highest standard - from intimate gallery shows to large-scale public art and commercial experiences.
Our team is small, ambitious, and deeply committed to the work. Every project we take on is handled with care, precision, and a genuine love of contemporary art. We're looking for someone who shares that spirit.
The Role
The Assistant Project Producer will work closely with our Creative Project Producer and Director to support the end-to-end delivery of art exhibitions and projects. This is a hands-on, learning-by-doing role suited to someone with an architectural or interior design background who is curious about the world of exhibition-making and ready to grow their skills in a professional arts context.
You will be involved at every stage - from technical drawings and vendor coordination to on-site installation and client communication - developing a well-rounded understanding of how contemporary art projects are produced from concept to completion.

- Contribute to content for social media and website updates related to exhibitions
