Rich Mix is where culture meets community. Rooted in diversity and social change, we believe arts and culture belong to everyone - not just on stage, but behind the scenes too. We are on a mission to reshape what leadership looks like in the arts. We're seeking a visionary Lead Music Curator to work closely with our Head of Programme and programming team to co-create and deliver a music programme that speaks to East London's diverse cultural landscape. This is a leadership-oriented role for a dynamic mid-career artist, curator, or cultural producer who is deeply connected to Global Majority music scenes in the UK. The Lead Music Curator role is part of our wider development programme In-House; a bold blueprint to centre the voices, talent and leadership of Global Majority artists and creatives, and those with lived experiences underrepresented in senior creative roles, in shaping the future of arts centres. We've spent the past year listening to artists, curators, and communities to build a development model that creates not just opportunity, but long-term change. The result is In-House; a threeyear programme that provides opportunities for artist networking, mentoring and trainig for mid-career creatives looking to progress into leadership roles. In-House is generously supported by the Esm e Fairbairn Foundation. You might be a curator, promoter, artist, DJ, creative producer, artist manager, or multi-disciplinary creative - we're open to all kinds of backgrounds. What matters most is your passion, vision, and connection to the culture. Just show us your experience, networks, and ideas. We see this role as a step on your creative journey; either to Head of Music at Rich Mix or another artistic leadership role. Join us in developing a shared creative vision for the future of Rich Mix. We're especially keen to hear from Global Majority applicants, and those with lived experiences underrepresented in senior creative roles.
