The Art House: Associate Curator

The Art House is seeking proposals from emerging curators to produce a new exhibition in 2019. The selected curator will work with our artist-in-residence as well as The Arts Council Collection to design and develop a new exhibition at The Art House in Wakefield in July 2019, during Yorkshire Sculpture International.
The successful individual will bring their own curatorial ideas and research to the project, and we hope they will use the opportunity to develop and experiment with their own interests in this particular context.

The Art House hosts a series of artists-in-residence each year, working with established and emerging artists. We provide them with time, space and support to produce new work and develop their practice. We have a flat in the building where artists stay, and studio and exhibition space that they also use. Our artists-in-residence will stay for around four weeks at a time. The curator for this opportunity will be able to speak to and meet with the artist prior to their residency starting and before selecting works.

The curator will:
Work with the artist in residence and The Art House programme team to design and develop an exhibition in our main exhibition space.
Select works from the Arts Council Collection, to be shown alongside new artwork produced by the artist in residence.
Programme and participate in an ‘in-conversation’ or similar event to provide further context to or enhance the work and the exhibition.
Receive mentoring from curators or arts professionals (to be identified by the curator).

They will receive:
A fee of £1500
A travel budget of up to £250
A budget for exhibition production costs
A budget for mentoring sessions of up to £850 (4 x £150 sessions plus travel)
