Application Deadline: 26 January 2026
Location: Home-based (UK), with an optional residency opportunity at Wysing Arts Centre
Fixed-term, 12 months from Spring 2026

This position is part of DASH’s Future Curators Programme and is for a Disabled, Deaf or Neurodivergent curator who works primarily from home or for whom home-based working is essential. This role is intentionally structured to be home-based, flexible, and responsive — centring the curator’s access needs, pace and working style. Access support will be provided as required (e.g. access riders, digital assistance, mentoring, and flexible scheduling).

The curator will co-develop and curate shared ways of working in digital/ online spaces for DASH and Wysing Arts Centre, shaping it as a collaborative, accessible environment for artistic experimentation, storytelling, and international exchange.
