Engagement Producers, Artes Mundi

As a means to identify and structure this aspect of our overall public programming, each Engagement Producer will be assigned to undertake in-depth research into one of the shortlisted Artes Mundi 11 artists. As a network, and with the rest of the Artes Mundi team, we will find commonalities, shared issues and thematic connections between the shortlisted artist's work and practices, building a wide and generous bank of resources and creative activities for our audiences.

The Engagement Producers will be enthusiastic about culture and ideas which are inspirational, inclusive and creative. We are particularly interested in those with an imaginative and flexible approach to achieving outstanding results.

You do not need to have any specific qualifications or work experience to be eligible for this role. However, due to the responsibilities and tasks to be undertaken, it is desirable, and we are interested, in hearing from those who have experience through education, previous employment or particular lived experiences such as artists, researchers and creative practitioners from all disciplines, experience and career levels.
