DiverseWorks has announced that it will begin searching for an Assistant Curator to replace Rachel Cook, who is leaving the organization to become the Artistic Director of On the Boards, a non-profit organization and theater in Seattle. Cook started with DiverseWorks in 2012 as Assistant Curator and became the organization’s Curator in 2016.
