We are Hiring: Assistant Curators

We are seeking to appoint two Assistant Curators.

The Assistant Curators will work with the Artes Mundi team to plan and deliver the forthcoming biennial exhibition, AM11. Specifically, they will assist the Director in all aspects of the programme delivery, in particular exhibition coordination and preparation, installation planning, monitoring budgets and contribute to events and public programming initiatives.

One post will have specific responsibility for artists showing in venues Mostyn, Llandudno and Aberystwyth Arts Centre; the second for artists showing at Chapter, Cardiff and Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Swansea, and both will liaise with existing teams at these partner organisations.
