Curatorial Commission
Closing date 8 November 2024
The Alasdair Gray Archive are seeking to engage an early-stage curator via an open call to work with AGA on:
• 2025 program delivery
• Developing a self-led project under the theme of ‘The City’
What we mean by ‘an early-stage curator’ is someone who has limited experience in delivering
public curatorial projects but who is keen to grow this side of their practice as part of this
opportunity.
You don’t need to have formal training in curatorial practice, but your application must evidence an interest and initiative in this area.
The selected candidate would become part of our growing community and will benefit from AGA’s
support alongside connections to our network of independent curators, museum partners
and HEI providers.
We are looking for experience, or an interest in:
• Organising & delivering curatorial projects with public engagement
• Working with partner organisations
• A knowledge of Alasdair Gray’s visual and/or literary works
• An understanding of what AGA does and how you feel your skills would be support our
program delivery
• What you’d like to learn as part of this opportunity
• How you would develop a self-led project under the theme of ‘The City’ in relation to
AGA’s collection & Alasdair Gray.
A panel of selectors including Sorcha Dallas (AGA’s Custodian), Katie Bruce (Curator/Producer at
The Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow) and Dr. Alexandra Ross (Lecturer in Contemporary Art &
Curation at The University of Glasgow) will interview up to 4 shortlisted candidates.
