Reimagining Folk Art Curator
Compton Verney Art Gallery and Park, Warwickshire
Full time, permanent contract
Salary: £30,000 per annum
Deadline to apply: Wednesday 12 June 2024, 17:00 BST
First round interviews: Monday 17 June 2024
Compton Verney are looking for a curator to lead a two-year research and engagement project to reimagine and redefine Compton Verney’s historic Folk Art Collection. This will involve working to propose new definitions for an inclusive, living collection, which reflects modern British society and also explores the social context within which historic objects in the collection were made. It will include developing relationships with regional communities to develop a new acquisitions and loans strategy to broaden the scope of the Folk Art collection to include a broader representation of objects, customs, cultures and beliefs that is representative of UK demographics and cultures in the twenty first century but with a specific focus on the Midlands regions. The role will also review and develop a new interpretation framework which is accessible to a broad audience and reflects the social histories that generated the collections objects.
This is a full time role leading the Reimaging Folk Art project for 3 days per week and working to manage and develop existing and new exhibition and programme content for 2 days per week.
