£20,000 pro rata (£5,333.33 per annum)
Deadline: Mon 21 May
Bluecoat is Liverpool’s centre for the contemporary arts, offering a year-round programme of exhibitions and a range of music, dance, literature, live art and heritage events. As conservators of a rich history and ornate building, which marked its 300 year anniversary in 2017, they are also home to around thirty artists, collectives, small arts organisations and craftspeople. As part of their new business plans they are pursuing the expansion of this award-winning participation work into other centres in the North West and further afield.
Blue Room was established in 2008 to provide weekly inclusive opportunities for adults with learning disabilities to access high quality visual arts programmes at Bluecoat. They are now working with new partners Norton Priory Museum and Gardens who have received support from Arts Council England to bring Blue Room and Out of the Blue to Runcorn. The new Blue Room project will be aimed at learning disabled young people and adults aged 16-25 and will be based at Norton Priory every Friday.
Bluecoat are seeking a Blue Room Facilitator to join their dedicated and experienced Participation team to take an artistic lead on this new project. This will be a unique opportunity for someone with their own critically engaged practice to develop their existing participatory approach as part of an acclaimed programme within a supportive environment.
The deadline for applications for this exciting new role is 9am on Mon 21 May 2018. Please visit the Bluecoat website for further information and a full application pack.
