Job Summary
The Artistic Director is the creative lead of Swaledale Festival, generating and delivering a programme each year which attracts local people and visitors to events which offer enjoyment and development of musical and artistic experiences.
Job Description
Swaledale Festival has an enviable reputation as one of the best "small" festivals. Respected by professional and amateur musicians across a wide range of genres, much-loved by our audiences and supported by our strong group of volunteers and a small team of dedicated staff, the Festival has been providing arts and music for over fifty years in the beautiful northern Yorkshire Dales.
The challenge for the Artistic Director is to create and deliver a programme that will delight and inspire Festival-goers and keep them coming back for more, while at the same time attracting a wider and more diverse audience. Running over the last week of May and the first week of June, a packed programme of around sixty events includes concerts, walks, workshops and art exhibitions. We make good use of characterful churches, village halls and, of course, the glorious Dales landscape.
Your strong musical background, which is likely to have a classical bias, coupled with your experience in organising arts events, will equip you to rise to this challenge. It's a part-time, flexible position which can be carried out working remotely with travel to occasional meetings.
Golden opportunities like this arise very rarely - the last time was seventeen years ago. For more information about the role, the Festival and how to apply, please visit: http://www.swalefest.org/About/Jobs - www.swalefest.org/About/Jobs.
