Applications closing for Visitor Assistant roles at Spike Island

Posted on: 29 Sep 2020

Don't miss out on a great opportunity to join Spike Island's growing gallery team.

 

Spike Island is on the lookout for new additions to their gallery and events team, advertising three part-time Visitor Assistant positions for the upcoming Autumn/Winter exhibition season.

 

Certainly one for the art lovers among us, the role involves safeguarding displayed artwork and enriching the visitor experience at one of Bristol's best-loved gallery spaces.

 

Applications close at 17:00 tomorrow (Wednesday 30 September), so act fast and find out how to apply here.

 

 

Opened by a group of artists in 1992, Spike Island has been a vital hub of creativity in Bristol for almost thirty years. As well as a dedicated exhibition centre, it's home to studio spaces, a range of classes, and an equipment hire centre.

 

Spike Island is currently occupied by more than 70 local artists, designers, artist-led organisations and creative businesses, and invites esteemed artists from around the world to showcase their work year-round.

 

Visitors can enjoy a diverse and forward-thinking gallery schedule, and can attend a variety of events, gallery tours, artist talks, creative workshops and more.

 

Visitor Assistants are tasked with adding that extra spark to the Spike Island experience, offering recommendations, know-how and insider information to visitors.

 

The role requires someone with great communication and people skills, and a passion for contemporary art and Bristol's creative community.

 

If you're an art lover and you're looking to get some first-hand experience in a gallery position, head to the Spike Island website to find out more and apply for a Visitor Assistant position before tomorrow's deadline.
