ABOUT CHAPTER

Chapter is an international centre for contemporary arts and culture, rooted in Cardiff. For more than 50 years, it’s been a catalyst for creativity and critical thinking, supporting artists and audiences to thrive and take risks. We believe that art has the power to connect us all and create meaningful change.

We’re a dynamic hub that produces and promotes inventive and compelling work that’s open and accessible to all. Across visual art, performance and film, we present an experimental, evocative and bold programme of events all year round.

Alongside our public arts programme in our gallery, theatres and cinemas, we work behind the scenes to support continuous professional development, connecting deeply with creative practitioners to support their career paths.

We’re also creative home to 52 artists’ and companies who are based in our studios, offer spaces for an array of weekly and monthly classes, and operate a busy café bar.

Our programme is celebrated internationally, but our role as a local hub is equally important. We work with and for the people on our doorstep to create compelling, transformative experiences connecting art with community.

We believe in the power of the arts to transform lives and promote personal and social wellbeing. We strive for our venue and programme to be accessible to everyone, and welcome around 500,000 people through our doors every year.

PURPOSE OF ROLE

We work with artists to create a compelling programme across all artforms. Artists and audiences are at the heart of everything we do, and we foreground ambitious, experimental and accessible projects.

Our programme champions high-quality contemporary work that’s adventurous, provocative and open to risk, and we advocate the work of Welsh and Wales-based practitioners, as well as presenting work by UK and international theatre makers.

The Performance Programme Curator will develop an ambitious programme of live events in our acclaimed arts centre. This includes two theatre spaces and one smaller performance space that‘s used to support R&D for creative practitioners. The role also works alongside our Curator of Visual Art to present Experimentica, our biennial festival of live art.
