As well as supporting artists at different stages of their careers, FACT recognises the importance of curatorial practice to maintain a vibrant cultural scene.
Curators impact how an artwork is made, shown, and talked about. They have the ability to make unique connections between ideas, people and projects which are specific to their interests or research. As such, they are a vital part of any art ecology, and FACT is eager to support the next generation of curators to develop their practice in sustainable ways and build on the expertise within the organisation.
This is an opportunity for an early-career curator or arts producer to work on the development of FACT’s new Studio/Lab programme and space. Working alongside the Studio/Lab Manager, they will help to support and develop a community of artists, and input into the design and delivery of a skills and practice development programme.
