The Center for Arts and Innovation (The Center) will serve as a
vibrant, world-class cultural facility where creativity and
innovation are given a programmatic and architectural platform
through four pillars: the arts, education, business, and community.
Located in Mizner Park – the heart of downtown Boca Raton, FL – the
completed facility will have an international impact and become one
of the first 21st century creative campuses. The Center will serve
as a dynamic, innovative, and vibrant fulcrum for artists,
organizations, businesses, institutions, students, creative
entrepreneurs, and the public at large. To design The Center’s
innovative spaces, the organization has selected Pritzker Prize
winning laureate Renzo Piano and his firm Renzo Piano Building
Workshop (RPBW) as its lead architect. RPBW has created globally
recognized projects including The Centre Pompidou, The Shard, and
The Whitney Museum of American Art.

 

The Center is preparing to embark on a comprehensive campaign
with the vision of funding, constructing, and operating The Center
within five years. In fulfillment of this vision, the organization
has partnered with philanthropic consultants to design the
structure, objectives, and plan of the campaign while it secures
the position of the Chief Development Officer and other development
staff.

 

The Center seeks an entrepreneurial Director of Development to
support and ensure the successful completion of The Center’s
anticipated comprehensive campaign. The Director of Development
will build and carry a portfolio of major gifts prospects and lead

The successful candidate will support the CDO to identify,

mission. The Director of Development will collaborate with the CDO
and development team to design and implement innovative strategies
for donor identification, engagement, solicitation, and
stewardship. S/he will possess the intellectual depth, poise, and
