Artistic Director | Renaissance Theaterworks
Avra Search Partners
Art director job in Milwaukee, WI
Opportunity Snapshot: Theater by Women, for Everyone
Renaissance Theaterworks (RTW), Milwaukee's only professional theater company dedicated to gender equity, is at a historic turning point. With the planned retirement of its co-founding ArtisticDirector, Suzan Fete, after 33 seasons of bold leadership, RTW is seeking a visionary new ArtisticDirector to carry forward its nationally recognized legacy. This is a rare opportunity to lead a debt-free, mission-driven theater into its next era of daring artistry, community connection, and sustainability.
The ArtisticDirector will join a deeply committed team of artists, staff, and Board members who have collectively advanced RTW's pioneering role as a champion for women's voices and inclusive storytelling. The next leader will bring creative courage, collaborative spirit, and a passion for equity to one of the nation's oldest gender-balanced theaters.
Note: All submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis, with priority consideration given to those received by Friday, January 9th at 5:00 PM CT.
About Renaissance Theaterworks
Founded in 1993 by five Milwaukee artists, RTW has redefined the cultural landscape by centering women's stories on stage. With its enduring tagline, Theater by Women, for Everyone, RTW has consistently produced three times the national average of plays written by women, engaged more than 4,700 patrons annually, and offered meaningful opportunities for emerging and established artists alike.
The company's mission is to create moving theater that connects with our shared sense of being human while promoting the work of women onstage and off. With a staff of seven, and more than fifty artists employed each season, RTW has sustained a scale that allows for ambitious programming, while maintaining intimacy and community connection. Its commitment to accessibility is reflected in a fully accessible venue, a hearing loop system, and a range of performance options, which include Open Captioned, ASL Interpreted, Audio Described, and Sensory Friendly.
Notably, RTW has met these milestones while remaining debt-free throughout its history, a record of stewardship now reinforced by the “100 Years of RTW Initiative,” a $3 million campaign designed to expand reserves, build an endowment, and secure the company's long-term resilience.
Organizational Structure
The ArtisticDirector will partner with Managing Director Lisa Rasmussen and a dedicated staff of 3 full-time and 2 part-time team members. The ArtisticDirector will also report to and partner with a volunteer Board of directors composed of leaders from law, academia, technology, finance, and community service. Together, they will steward RTW's mission, operations, and artistic vision. The ArtisticDirector reports directly to the Board of Directors.
The Moment
As RTW approaches its 35th season, the company is poised to expand its artistic reach while deepening community connection. RTW has responded to the challenges currently facing artistic organizations with creativity and vision, whether navigating rising production costs or post-pandemic audience shifts. Through the “100 Years of RTW Initiative,” the company is investing in people, infrastructure, and artistic risk-taking to secure a bold future.

Art director job in Chicago, IL
Who We Are: At VML, Human First is our guiding creative philosophy: we create value for people first, knowing this drives authentic and sustainable brand impact. We are a growth partner that is part creative agency, part consultancy, and part technology powerhouse.
We connect Brand Experience, Customer Experience, and Commerce to craft unified, emotionally resonant consumer journeys.
Our 26,000 people across 50-plus markets are the heart of our company. Their perspectives, local expertise, and cultural insights drive creativity and innovation, making talent our most critical competitive advantage.
We're looking for a Creative Director with words in their DNA-someone who's not just led teams, but who has the kind of work in their book that makes other creatives jealous they didn't think of it first.
This isn't a role for idea dabblers. We want a proven maker who has cracked big brand briefs, sold in bold platforms, and delivered work that's lived in culture-not just in decks. If your portfolio makes recruiters stop scrolling and juries scribble on their ballots-you're the type we're after.
You must:
* Lead and inspire a team with envy-worthy creative ideas that move business.
* Bring big-brand thinking to everything from quick-turn activations to long-term platforms.

* Award-winning work.
* Experience leading creative across major brands with national or global reach.
* Hunger to keep making work that breaks through and gets talked about.
* QSR or food service experience is a plus but not required-if you've driven cultural conversation in other categories, we're listening.
Why this role:
You'll get to work on big brands that need ideas that spark headlines, conversations, and envy across the industry.
What we offer:
* Passionate, driven people | We champion a culture of people that do extraordinary work.
* Consciously cultivated culture | We aim to embody the behaviors to build an inclusive community that is in it together, bringing both positivity and active listening into the workplace as we simultaneously strive to empower creative bravery.
* Competitive benefits | What we offer full time hires ranges from the full spectrum of group health coverage options (medical, dental, vision) to a generous 401k match (100% dollar-for-dollar match, up to 5% of salary contribution), and a variety of paid time off offerings that reflect our investment in all aspects of your overall life balance and wellness.
* Growth-minded opportunities | We aim to nurture a culture of real-time feedback, growth-oriented mindset, and plenty of training opportunities through VML and WPP, so you can continue to grow personally and professionally.
