Strategic Director

First Art is for those who think “art” isn’t for them. Our vision is to inspire communities within the former coalfields of NE Derbyshire and NE Nottinghamshire to experience and get involved in the arts as both audiences and participants. The project, based at Creswell Crags on the Derbys/Notts border, is a partnership of five cultural and community organisations working together as part of the Arts Council’s Creative People and Places programme. Now starting a new second phase, we’re looking to appoint a creative and entrepreneurial Strategic Director to be responsible for achieving First Art’s strategic objectives and providing strong, inspirational and high-profile leadership to the project.

This full-time post is based at Creswell Crags but will involve working with partners across the First Art region.
