Project Arts Centre is beginning the search for a new Curator for our Visual Arts Programme.

This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and highly-skilled individual to join the team at one of Ireland’s leading cultural organisations.

We are looking for a Curator who is passionate about making a real impact on the Irish and international scene. PAC is open to new ways of working, new forms of curatorial practice and time-based project proposals.
