Curator (Children, Young People and Families)

ACAVA

Post Date: 25 Aug 2024

JOB OVERVIEW

We are a leading arts education charity that evolved from artist-led initiatives in the early 1970s. For 50 years we have been amongst the UK’s most progressive affordable studio and workspace providers.

With a portfolio of 15 studio buildings, exhibition spaces and workshops across nine London boroughs, three locations in Essex and an industrial heritage site in Stoke-on-Trent we support a community of over 400 creative practitioners and cultural organisations.

A pioneer of delivering arts in health and wellbeing settings, we bring professional artists together with local communities in programmes to explore their creativity with transformational outcomes.

ACAVA stands for the Association for Cultural Advancement through Visual Art. Created as a statement of radical intent by the artist founders to use culture for social good, it remains the ethos of our organisation today.

The Role

ACAVA seeks to appoint a Curator (Children, Young People and Families), a role that builds on established and evolving programmes.

We are looking for someone with experience in project development, management and delivery within cultural and community contexts. The candidate should be specifically interested in co-creation between artists and communities and child—or family-centred curatorial approaches.

This is an ideal opportunity for a programmer/curator to develop their career. They will have the chance to learn from established programmes and develop self-initiated new activities, working closely with the Head of Social Practice.

The Curator (Children, Young People and Families) plays a crucial part in the future development of our award-winning Social Practice programmes, working to dismantle barriers and champion access to high-quality cultural opportunities for children, young people and families.
