Director

 Castlefield Gallery is seeking to appoint a new Director with the vision to set the agenda for the next chapter of the organisation’s dynamic 32 year history.
Founded in 1984, Castlefield Gallery (CG) is one of Northern England’s most active cultural organisations consisting of a leading contemporary art gallery based in Manchester and an agency to support and develop emerging contemporary artists and their practice.

Castlefield Gallery’s vision is for the North to be the place where artists can live and produce new ambitious work, while presenting their work in national and international contexts. Its mission is to nurture talent, explore cultural trends and deepen the audience’s relationship with contemporary art. Now is an exciting time in CG’s development having just secured ACE’s £150,000 Catalyst Evolve funding to embed sustainability into the organisation over the next three years. This strategic funding is underpinned by revenue support from ACE (NPO) and Manchester City Council (Cultural Partnership). The organisation is a limited company and charity which owns its city centre venue thanks to Arts Council of England’s Capital Lottery funding in 2000.

The Director is responsible for driving forward this next stage of development for Castlefield Gallery. The key functions of the post of Director are to manage the gallery and agency, its staff and programme, and develop, articulate and implement the organisation’s business plan and strategic vision with responsibility for policy, income generation and operations.
