2 x Freelance Roles: OUR TURN is an ambitious new festival designed by Bradford artists. OUR TURN expects to be bold, experimental and authentically Bradford. We are seeking two freelance part time Producers to support the delivery of this ambitious project. OUR TURN will bring together new & established artforms, supporting artists and audiences at all stages of their creative journey. It will take place across the city collaborating with multiple partner venues. The festival will enable artists to be more ambitious, provide training for a new generation of culture makers and inspire children and young people to be inspired by art which is made in Bradford. The festival will celebrate Bradford's rich counter cultural scene and create an accessible platform which will reach new art go-errs in Bradford, underserved communities and loyal arts audiences. We are seeking two part-time producers to support the delivery of the festival alongside South Square's curatorial team and a group of 18 artist steering group members who will guide the direction of the festival. The team will require a mixture of on-site meetings at South Square, offsite meetings with partners & remote working to deliver this ambitious festival. We imagine this to be 2 roles but would also consider 1 person to deliver both roles.
