Diasporas Now, in partnership with the V&A, South London Gallery, Spike Island and Primary, announce an open call for Global Majority artists working in live art for a national tour of commissioned performances under the theme of Macrocosmic Futures.

Primary is seeking to recruit several trustees, following the completion of the terms of office of three board members. This is an exciting time to join us following the acquisition of our building and significant investment in capital development.

We are looking for people with diverse lived and personal experiences as well as professional expertise to make a difference to our future.

Primary is commissioning a researcher / evaluator to develop a Case for Support to support the organisation’s Artist Development Strategy. The Case for Support will articulate and demonstrate the impact that Primary’s Artist Development Programme has on residents and members as well as artists engaged through our Public Programme and partnership working.

Primary is seeking a Front of House & Gallery Assistant to welcome visitors and offer them information and guidance to enrich their experience of Primary’s public programme, which includes exhibitions and events. For full details on the role, personal specification and how to apply please see the application pack.

This role is for a curator from the global majority. The Associate Curator will be an integral role within the Primary programme team, working collaboratively to shape our work. They will take an active role in the decision-making processes of the organisation, supporting the delivery of our wider programme. The role will be developed based on the successful candidate’s interests and direction. They will lead on the development and delivery of a strand of public programme, with access to a budget of £10K to support this.

We are excited to share news of a new artist venture based from Primary. Resident artist Georgina Barney, who developed and maintains Primary dye and pigment garden, has launched Plant Dye Studio!

Through Plant Dye Studio Georgina is hosting a series of workshops and talks focused on learning how to make plant dyes, inks, paints and pigments.

10 artists will be invited to join Courses for Dis-Course(s) as participating artists in an exciting new project taking place at Primary.  The Dinners will be specifically for British (south) Asian Women Artists (or anyone who identifies with this - inclusive of non-binary people and trans women). Specifically, we are looking for artists for the location of Nottingham from areas local to Primary and artists who wouldn’t normally have access to such spaces for showing work or engagement.
