Freelance Marketing Officer

Van Gogh House is the Georgian terraced house in which Vincent once lived, now an artist residency and space for exhibitions, events and performances.

We are currently looking for a freelance marketing professional to support an upcoming festival of talks and performances in Brixton called the Festival of Encounters.

The Festival of Encounters comprises around 40 talks by artists, writers, activists, musicians and thinkers in venues across Northern Brixton, including Van Gogh House, other purpose-built venues and more unusual spaces such as cafes, bicycle repair shops, private gardens etc.

This role will drive the marketing of the Festival to local and wider London audiences through print and digital media. As part of the Festival budget, we are also hiring a Lambeth-based Festival Assistant in their first arts role, who will support the Marketing Officer in promoting the Festival.

The Marketing Officer role is flexible but with an expectation that the Marketing Officer will include onsite time with the Festival Assistant. [Details to discuss in interview]
