Charleston is looking for an exceptional person to lead on the artistic planning and delivery of a year-round books, discussion and debate strand as part of Charleston’s growing events programme.
A significant proportion of the role will be focussed on the Charleston Festival and Small Wonder Festival. However, your expertise and ideas will inform and support the wider programme including new festivals for young people, Queer Bloomsbury and spoken word events both onsite and with partners in the region and further afield.
About Charleston
From 1916, Charleston was the home of two important and influential British artists – Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant – and the country retreat of a collection of individuals known as the Bloomsbury group. The house has been open to the public as a museum since 1986, and its decorative interiors and internationally significant collection are visited by around 25,000 visitors a year.
In 2018 Charleston opened a suite of galleries in a new building, and a flexible auditorium in two Grade II listed barns. Charleston is now building an extensive annual programme of talks, events, performance, workshops and festivals. The centrepiece of our portfolio of festivals is the interdisciplinary Charleston Festival of books, ideas and creativity which runs over 10 days in May.
