The Apollo
This Artistic Director will lead the curatorial process for The Apollo's year-round artistic programming, shaping plans for all venues and communicating them to stakeholders.

This executive will also oversee the planning and producing process, working closely with the President & CEO and Chief Growth Officer to align artistic programming with institutional strategy.
For more than ninety years, The Apollo has stood as a living symbol of Black excellence, artistic innovation, and cultural leadership. Since 1934, The Apollo has celebrated, created, and presented work that centers Black artists and voices from across the African Diaspora. In December 2024, The Apollo Theater became the first organization honored by the Kennedy Center Awards, underscoring its enduring impact on American culture and the performing arts. Upon reopening in early 2027 after a 21-month renovation, The Apollo will operate a full campus for the first time, encompassing six distinct venues, including multiple performance spaces, new streaming capabilities, an expanded publicly accessible lobby, and a café. The Apollo anticipates welcoming upwards of 25,000 visitors each week.
