Palm Desert / El Paseo | Commission-Based | Seasonal Pop-Up An established contemporary fine art gallery is seeking an exceptional Fine Art Sales Partner / Gallery Director for a new seasonal pop-up in the El Paseo area. Our gallery has more than a decade of experience in the Coachella Valley, including approximately 10 years on El Paseo, and has operated multiple successful gallery locations in major luxury markets. We represent established contemporary artists and offer paintings, sculpture and mixed-media works to an extensive collector base. We are now exploring a return to El Paseo with a seasonal gallery concept and are looking for an entrepreneurial sales professional who can help build and operate the location. This is not a traditional salaried gallery position. We are looking for someone who thinks like an owner: an exceptional closer who can cultivate collectors, develop new relationships, generate business beyond walk-in traffic and take responsibility for sales performance. Compensation We are open to two structures depending on the candidate:
Commission-Based Sales Partner:
Significant commission on sales with unlimited earning potential. Ideal for an experienced luxury salesperson who wants to earn based on performance.
Operating Partner:
For an exceptional candidate with an entrepreneurial background and local network, we are open to discussing a deeper partnership involving shared operating expenses and profit participation. Ideal Candidate You have a proven track record in fine art or high-ticket luxury sales and are comfortable working with affluent and high-net-worth clients. Experience in fine art, luxury real estate, jewelry, designer furniture, luxury automotive or another relationship-driven luxury business may be relevant. Strong existing relationships in Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells and the greater Coachella Valley are a major advantage. Most importantly, you know how to create sales rather than simply wait for customers to walk through the door. This is an opportunity to work with an established gallery, significant existing inventory, an extensive collector history and a proven luxury-market concept — while having the autonomy and earning potential of an entrepreneurial role. Please submit your resume along with a short introduction describing your high-ticket sales experience, local relationships, and your largest or most significant sales achievements. All inquiries will be kept confidential. Gallery identity and additional details will be shared with qualified candidates.
