About This Role
We are looking for an Artist in Residence to complement our thriving Art Department. This role is ideally suited to an Art graduate who may be considering a future career in education or as a practising artist.
The successful applicant would be required to work with and mentor young artists, assist with workshops and help out when required. In exchange, you will receive studio space, a flat and full board (term-time only), together with a contribution towards materials as well as the opportunity to display your own work at a minimum of two exhibitions per year.
In addition, we offer a rewarding environment, as well as a number of notable benefits such as free school lunches, free on-site parking and use of our school’s gym and pool facilities.
Please note that this is an unpaid position, so we anticipate that you will need to find part-time work elsewhere. The anticipation is that this is an opportunity for an established artist to utilise our space and enhance their career, or an emerging artist to have the opportunity to develop themselves.
