The Lowry would like to invite 10 independent artists, creatives or producers working across live performance (5 artists) and visual arts (5 artists) to form two Artist Development Advisory Groups. These groups will play an important role in evaluating and influencing our Artist Development work at The Lowry, ensuring that our strategies and activities are informed by artists and creatives and continue to reflect current and future needs.
This is a paid role. Advisory Groups will be in place for 1 year (March 2024 – March 2025) and will meet 4 times a year at The Lowry.
In forming these groups, we are looking to connect with artists who are passionate about developing creative and professional practice, invested in learning and want to take part in conversations about what Artist Development means to artists and the role it plays in impacting and shaping the wider arts sector.
