The Creative Grid is looking for a regionally based curator to take on the Lead Curator role for the third iteration of the Regional Arts Triennial. The two year contract commences late 2024 and concludes late 2026.
Previous curatorial experience is required, however emerging curators with leadership potential are invited to submit. Aboriginal and CALD curators are strongly encouraged to apply.
The role involves working with diverse stakeholders across all 9 of WA’s regions and a range of metro-based service organisations and tertiary institutions. The successful candidate will be supported by a Curatorial Advisory Group and an Aboriginal Curatorium.
This paid position entails working remotely, with periods of peak activity interspersed with periods of minimal activity.
Please refer to the Application Guide for full details upon:
- The callout process (including selection criteria, key dates, who can apply)
- Overview of the Regional Arts Triennial
- About the Lead Curatorial role (including tasks & fee)
- Attributes, skills & experience expectations
As the previous Lead Curators were based in the Peel and Great Southern regions
we will prioritise applications from candidates living in one of the other 7 regions.
Applications are via an online form. However, if you need support due to cultural,
physical or other access requirements we can discuss alternative application
pathways, please contact us. We are committed to making reasonable
adjustments to provide a positive, barrier-free recruitment process and
supportive workplace.
