Autograph are looking to recruit three artists to lead on the creative direction and community engagement for a new creative project working with artists and communities with experience of displacement.
Open Until: 28/07/2025
Posted: 30/06/2025
Acts of Solidarity is a new project bringing together artists and local grassroots communities from refugee, asylum-seeking and migrant backgrounds, to challenge exclusion and inequality in the arts. The project was developed in dialogue with artists, organisers and community members who have testified to the challenging and exploitative conditions they face in the sector as people with lived experience of displacement.
As a result, the Lead Artist roles are being offered as employment contracts, rather than as freelance opportunities. This entitles the artists to a salary, holiday leave and sick pay. The roles are offered on a part-time basis assumed at a constant rate of employment at two days per week however we are open to discussing some flexibility within this suggested pattern to accommodate other commitments. Flexibility will be required in this role as occasional evening and weekend working will be necessary. Time off in lieu (TOIL) is available where hours delivered exceed those which the role holder is contracted to deliver.
The roles require artists with an interest in working with community groups in informal contexts (such as libraries, educational and community spaces). We are interested in hearing from artists working across different art forms, including visual arts, dance, performance, sound and music, writing, poetry, photography, film and video and storytelling.
Part time role, 14 hours / 2 days a week
£16,000 pro rata (£40,000 FTE)
