This is a pivotal role within the Barber Institute’s curatorial team and would suit a candidate who is eager to bring new ideas, enthusiasm and knowledge to the organisation. We are looking to welcome someone to our small team who has experience of working with living artists and a specialism/research interest that extends beyond those existing within the team (existing specialisms include art from Britain, France and US c. 1930-1960; and British and European paintings and sculpture, 1600-1800), and who would be excited to contribute to re-interpretation initiatives. 

The Curator will lead on all aspects of the successful development, planning, and delivery of specific displays and artists projects as well as vital elements of the collections rehang, which will reimagine and reinterpret our collections, connecting the Barber's existing and new audiences to research and new narratives. This reflects the Barber's mission to make its growing internationally significant collections and programmes relevant to people’s lives today as well as being a committed convenor of, and collaborator with, researchers and communities.
