A unique opportunity to join the leading cultural and artistic development in the region.

Who we are

We catalyse curiosity by supporting, curating and creating experiences for our visitors and patrons. We do this in three ways:
Managing our community of galleries and creative concepts
Supporting commissions and education through our programming

We translate this into memorable experiences - to inspire our audiences, and shape public discourse. Our work is exciting, creative and relentlessly fast paced. Our teams are collaborative and flat-structured so that all ideas are equal.

We like to work with people who bring their own unique lens and perspective upon the world. We believe in unlocking potential and look for people who are…

Curious and inspiring
Proactive and persevering
Considerate and responsible
