We are looking for two aspiring artist-curators to work with us for 18 months.

Artist-curators organise their own reality and arrange things and thoughts in space and time to make their ideas possible. Artist-curating is a self-taught profession which you learn through hands on experience. To gain the practical and creative knowledge and skills you require, you need to work with others, collaborate and be open to learning from everyone around you.

These roles are designed to support aspiring or emerging artist-curators – people who may, or may not, have the confidence to define themselves as an artist, artist-curator, artist-maker or artist-organiser at the moment, but know they want to use art to make their own projects, exhibitions or organisations as artworks in the future.

We particularly encourage applications from groups who are underrepresented in the cultural sector including working class people, disabled people and people with Global Majority Heritage.*
