Job Summary
Job Description
19-28 June 2026
Open for Art is Reading’s largest town centre celebration of creativity, celebrating established artists as well as the many groups Jelly works with throughout the year.
This year marks ten years of Open for Art – a decade of artists, makers, communities, ideas, and shared experiences. As we celebrate this milestone, our theme invites everyone to pause and consider how creativity emerges from people coming together – experimenting, making, and reflecting. Our theme for 2026 is REFLECT.
For 10 days, we’re inviting Reading to slow down and notice the creativity through the town. Seek out pop-up art in shops and businesses, encounter artists as they work, take part in creative sessions, and join conversations about how reflection shapes artistic practice. REFLECT is for all ages.
