Marketing Coordinator – Models of Validation

An exciting opportunity for a Marketing Coordinator to join our project team based in Wakefield.

Models of Validation, a two year action research project exploring new models to champion and support socially-engaged artists. Led by Axisweb in partnership with Manchester Metropolitan University the project won Knowledge Transfer Partnership funding from Innovate UK in 2016.

This three month role is key to helping shape and deliver key outcomes and deliverables at this critical phase of the project. The Coordinator will work under the guidance of Mark Smith (Executive Directory of Axisweb) and be supported by academics from the University.

Building on our research Validation beyond the gallery, the project has been informed through continued engagement with key stakeholders – artists, producers, commissioners, funders and communities.

Our focus is about working in the open and sharing ideas with a network of people involved in socially engaged practice. Connected by critical engagement as an essential part of the field, the project explores the infrastructural conditions needed to give those involved in the sector the means to enter into valuable and validating exchanges.
