Work with Glenkens Community & Arts Trust to research, programme, promote events aimed at young adults in Dumfries & Galloway, to be included in both the CatStrand Arts and the CatStrand Young Creatives programmes.

12 month contract / 21 hours per week
£13,800 per annum (£23,000 Full Time Equivalent)

Through the internship you will work with Glenkens Community & Arts Trust to research, programme, promote events aimed at young adults in Dumfries & Galloway, to be included in both the main CatStrand Arts Programme and the CatStrand Young Creatives programme. This could include gigs, film, workshops and creative sessions – whatever you think would appeal to a wide audience of that age. They’re open to ideas and want to work with you to develop creative events and opportunities that are genuinely exciting for young adults. You will help develop and work alongside the Glenkens Gig Forum, a group of young adults aged 18-39, who help develop a programme targeted at this age group.

Alongside this programme creation and delivery, you will get practical experience in running an arts programme in a small venue. Not all of it will be glamorous, but it is rewarding work and will leave you well placed to work in other venues and grow your career in Arts Management. You will also support wider delivery of the Young Creatives programme, particularly in schools’ engagement.

This role is funded by the Holywood Trust.
