Assistant Curator

In 2017 the eyes of the world will be on Hull as it becomes UK City of Culture. Hull is only the second city to hold the title, the first in England. Hull UK City of Culture 2017 Ltd has been established to plan and deliver 365 days of transformative culture through a range of diverse events and projects.

Humber Street Gallery is a new contemporary art space for Hull, rooted in the history of contemporary art practice that the city has inspired. Our aim is to be forward-thinking in our choice of exhibitions, and to present the best of all aspects of art and design to our audience by including a range of contemporary visual art, design, photography and craft. We aim to ensure the gallery is a venue where people can learn, engage and become inspired. We want to create an environment that instils a sense of confidence, enjoyment, understanding and a desire to return again and again by providing an exhibitions programme that appeals to a wide cross-section of people regardless of age, background or ability. We hope to generate debate, expand boundaries and encourage change and development, both for those familiar with the arts and those new to this arena.

The Assistant Curator will help deliver the exhibitions programme from February 2017 to January 2018 in line with the artistic policy set by the Curator.
