Description
Craft Scotland is seeking an experienced Curatorial Programme Lead to support the planning, delivery and evaluation of a pilot COMPASS: Emerging Curator Programme.
This role is to start early July 2023 until March 2024 and will be approximately 14 days of work for a fee of £5,000 (inclusive of VAT).
Curators play a key role in sustaining and innovating Scotland’s ecosystem for contemporary craft however, there has been little infrastructure to support their professional development to date.
Following the ‘Sustaining Curatorial Careers Research’ report by Dr Stacey Hunter for Craft Scotland (published April 2022), Craft Scotland will run a pilot learning and development programme for a small cohort of emerging Scotland-based curators.
Running from August 2023 until March 2024. The successful candidate will work with the selected cohort through networking and professional development sessions, travelling as a group to Stockholm Craft Week, connecting with established curators/industry contacts and presenting reflections on the programme back to the sector.
