The role will explore and analyse recent and current outreach and engagement practice at MOSTYN, in parallel with an exploration of the nature and potential of audiences and communities within our catchment area. The Fellow will then devise and implement a pilot engagement programme to research and test ambitious and experimental approaches to reaching new audiences and widening engagement with our communities. The Fellow will lead on data capture and analysis of the response to this programme and will then produce a report describing how the results of the pilot programme could be embedded in ongoing plans for Outreach and Learning at MOSTYN.
Main duties
The Fellowship will explore how MOSTYN can:
- Strengthen existing engagement with local, national and international communities, understanding and responding to their post-pandemic priorities.
- Support our internationally significant contemporary art exhibition programme in more diverse and creative formats.
- Widen the parameters of who we engage with and build a series of new networks with underrepresented audiences
- Link together the various outputs within the organisation and forge new, supportive collaborations with external partners.
- Create an engagement programme that centres the care, health and wellbeing of our audiences in our new social contexts.
The findings from this Fellowship will then form the baseline of MOSTYN’s Learning and Engagement Strategy from 2022/23 and contribute towards our Funding Investment Review for the Arts Council of Wales in 2023.
