Engagement Curator

Yorkshire Sculpture Triangle (YST) – comprising the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds Art Gallery, The Hepworth Wakefield and Yorkshire Sculpture Park – has been awarded an ACE Ambition for Excellence grant to deliver the UK’s first international sculpture project in summer 2019. The activity of YST has positioned Yorkshire as ‘The true home of British sculpture’ (The Times), and this large-scale partnership project will secure that reputation on a world stage.

Yorkshire Sculpture International will generate international debate around the experience of sculpture through major exhibitions, commissions and the extraordinary collections of the host venues. We are seeking a highly motivated Engagement Curator to develop and deliver a fully integrated and innovative engagement programme to support the project starting in summer 2018. The post will work with the partner organisations to both engage communities locally and inspire visitors nationally and worldwide with historical, modern and contemporary sculpture.

This is a full-time fixed term contract of up to two years. Salary up to £30,000 per annum.
