Join Freelands Foundation in this new role where you will be ensuring our mission to champion art education reaches, engages and influences diverse audiences, from artists and educators, to policy and decision makers, and the wider public.
The successful candidate will be joining us at a time of growth and opportunity, as we start planning for a major building refurbishment to re-open as a 'centre for visual art education' with the needs of our audiences embedded into our plans and designs. All this while still delivering programmes and awarding grants that create positive change across our sector, including our flagship £1.5m Freelands Awards and our expanding Freelands Studio Fellowships with UK universities.
This opportunity is perfect for someone with substantial experience at a senior level leading an audiences department, or audience-led communications, marketing and development functions, within arts, culture or education sectors. The ideal candidate will thrive in an environment that balances deadline-driven projects with thoughtful and bold sector interventions. They will be great at supporting all of us to build networks that lead to changes in policy and practice that put art education where we think it deserves to be. Above all, they will be passionate about what we do and why we do it, and relish the opportunity to inspire others to join us.
