Back

Drawing Room is entering an exciting stage of its journey having recently moved into new premises in the heart of Bermondsey, London; we are now looking for a new Exhibitions Manager with the right skills and enthusiasm to join our team.

Drawing Room is an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation and comprises a gallery, library, shop, community studio and online resource that is dedicated to opening up the world of contemporary drawing to everyone.

We are currently seeking an Exhibitions Manager to manage our ambitious programme of exhibitions and related public events in our new, permanent home in Bermondsey. The Exhibitions Manager is a core member of the Drawing Room team and is instrumental in delivering our mission to:

  • Encourage and support a diverse range of practitioners to produce high quality and ambitious drawing and related writing and events.
  • Ensure that everyone has the opportunity to be creative, particularly those who experience barriers to participating in the arts, and to use drawing to cultivate the next generation of creatives.
  • Provide a neighbourhood cultural hub that our community is proud of and want to spend time in.
  • Be an international resource for the latest thinking around drawing

The Exhibitions Manager will be responsible for delivering a minimum of three exhibitions per annum and a related events programme. The role will suit an individual with prior experience of exhibitions management who is highly organised and can effectively manage and deliver exhibitions to a high standard.

We are an equal opportunities employer and encourage applications that represent the diversity of our society. We are particularly interested to hear from those currently underrepresented in our workforce, including those from Global Majority backgrounds and people with a disability.

We are keen to make our roles accessible to everyone, therefore we are open to discussing additional adjustments to the application and interview process if needed. Please email [email protected] if any part of the process is a barrier to your application.
