Job Opportunity | Associate Curator
JOB TITLE: Associate Curator | For a curator from the global majority
INFORMATION SESSION: Thursday 16 November, 6pm
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: Thursday 7 December, 11pm
INTERVIEWS: Thursday 14 December
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 in 2024/25.
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. There is flexibility in the way this programme develops – they may wish to work within existing structures at Primary or initiate something new.
The Associate Curator will work collaboratively with the wider programme team to inform Primary’s contribution to the Transform season of work during summer 2024, and strands of Primary’s activity beyond this. The Transform season will be part of a city-wide takeover aimed at celebrating talent, creativity and leadership from the global majority.
The successful candidate will be curious about Primary’s approach to co-production and have a desire to contribute to programme development, bringing different perspectives with a focus on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. They will have the ambition and desire to develop a career as a Curator or Artistic Director within the cultural sector. The role will be supported through individual and organisation-wide training, as well as a budget for mentoring, travel and accommodation, and support for access needs.
The role is funded with Art Fund support.
Access: Please note that Primary is based in a Victorian School building. We have recently undergone capital refurbishment works that have made the ground floor of our building more accessible, improvements include a new level-access entrance and installation of an accessible toilet. Our first-floor spaces are only accessible by stairs. We support reasonable adjustments and will work with candidates to meet the demands of the role, making adaptations where necessary.
