Job Requirements
A defining feature of this year’s role is the Guest Curator strand. Working alongside the Senior Producer, the AP will play a key role in supporting the day to day delivery of this bespoke programme, including curator liaison and artist support, alongside broader festival production responsibilities across October.
We are looking for a confident, calm person who can quickly blend into a busy production team and help to make the festival happen.
You will have experience of production environments and working with artists, strong organisational skills and a willingness to
switch between the different modes of operation required by a hybrid festival model.
Good interpersonal skills are as important as logistical ones in this role, as the AP will be a key point of contact for a number of artists and will need to hold those relationships well through a busy festival period.
This will be a freelance part-time contract, based at Somerset House and working across London venues.
