Turner Contemporary

Turner Contemporary is one of the UK’s leading art galleries, showcasing world-class exhibitions. Since opening in Margate in 2011, Turner Contemporary has established itself as a locally embedded, nationally significant arts organisation connecting art, people and place. The gallery is widely recognised as the catalyst for the regeneration of Margate and East Kent and has a track record of transforming lives and driving positive impact through the arts.

Turner Contemporary’s exhibition programme includes historical, 20th century and contemporary art. The gallery, designed by David Chipperfield Architects, looks out on the very views that JMW Turner immortalised in many of his key works. The learning programme champions children’s leadership through the arts and co-curation with diverse audiences is also at the heart of the gallery’s work.

Turner Contemporary is offering placement opportunities to undertake curatorial research and support the work of the Exhibitions and Learning teams on current and future programmes. There are also opportunities to work with other departments including Fundraising and Development, Visitor Experience and Communications.

Placements may be in person or remote, depending on the role and are likely to be for a minimum of 3 months, although we are flexible about duration.
