Creative Choices

We believe in providing practical, useful information and advice, for those who want it. But we also think you have the answers for your own set of circumstances, and we’re just happy to listen and guide you if needed. We’re the glue between work and education and we want to see fair access for employees, so we work with partners on things like setting up entry to work programmes – like we did for Cultural Ambition – as well as with qualification development, support through training for CPD, being a connector through events and networking as well as championing and representing the needs of our sector and influencing policy. Our sector doesn’t stand still and that’s ok. We’ll keep talking about the skills that are needed to move our sector forward.

Arts administrator: Employers and vacancy sources Arts administrators may be employed in any organisation with responsibility for organising, planning and delivering artistic or cultural events. There are many government-funded initiatives and local partnerships which employ administrators on various short and longer-term contracts. Many of these projects focus on development of arts activity in both urban and rural communities with a view to stimulating local economic development, addressing social inclusion and ultimately building stronger communities. These UK-wide projects are proving to be major sources of arts administration jobs. Arts Council England, Creative Scotland, the Arts Council of Wales and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland are key employers, although trainee arts administrator posts are rarely offered by the arts councils. The British Performing Arts Yearbook and the Museums and Galleries Yearbook are useful directories. Regional arts magazines and websites may also list vacancies.
