Sculpture Park Producer
Ref: SC5061

Salary on appointment will be £31,236 per annum, with an annual increment up to £37,694 per annum.

Home to a global collection of artworks spanning 6,000 years of human imagination and creative power, our curators collaborate with artists to explore the most important questions people have in their lives such as What is Truth? and How Do We Find Love? It is not a museum to only learn more about artists, cultures or movements like Francis Bacon, the Tang Dynasty or Modernism, it is a place of experience, where collections are animate, and visitors are invited to form a personal relationship with art.

In 1973, Sir Robert and Lady Lisa Sainsbury donated their world-class art collection to the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich. Trailblazing in their choice to display art from all around the globe and from all time periods equally and collectively, Sir Robert and Lady Lisa Sainsbury created one of the most sought after yet non-conformist art collections. The Sainsbury Centre is an international museum for everyone welcoming over 1 million visitors a year to enjoy its collection, housed in a modern architectural icon designed by Sir Norman Foster, and its Sculpture Park set in 350 acres of parkland. It will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2028.

The Sainsbury Centre Sculpture Park is one of the UK’s leading art landscapes, with over 20 artworks situated in and around Norman Foster’s iconic building on the University of East Anglia’s campus. Situated 3 miles outside of Norwich City Centre, the Sculpture Park will soon be reached by a new Norwich Art Path, a creative route starting in the heart of the medieval city, through public parks and green spaces, to the Sainsbury Centre on the University of East Anglia campus and beyond to the River Yare and Norfolk and Norwich Hospital.
