We are seeking a creative practitioner to design and produce a small exhibition of images for the Landscapes Unlocked project.

It will secure and catalogue the National Park's unique and extraordinary collection of over 44,000 images documenting the places, people and landscapes of the Peak District. The project is timely as 2026 marks the 75th anniversary of the Peak District's designation as the UK's first national park.
