Opportunity for Hatton Gallery African Art Curatorial Consultancy

Newcastle University, in conjunction with Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums (TWAM), wishes to appoint an ethnographic curatorial consultant for the Hatton Gallery’s Redevelopment Project.  This is to deliver the interpretation for a small display of African art objects (the Fred Uhlman collection), which is part of Heritage Lottery funded capital redevelopment of the gallery. 

The work comprises writing an introductory panel about Uhlman, the source of the collection and what it represents, and captions for 20 artefacts, each up to sixty words long.  The consultancy will be undertaken this year with the exhibition installation scheduled for July 2017.

Please contact Lindy Gilliland for the tender brief, and for further information, by 27 July. 

Tender returns should be received by 18 August 2016.
