Art27 Scotland is an arts and human rights organisation, looking for a part-time organised, collaborative and flexible General Manager to oversee our day-to-day operations and grow the company.

Art27 Scotland is based in Edinburgh, Scotland and takes its mission from Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which states that “everyone has the right freely to participate in cultural life and to enjoy the arts”. We explore how contemporary arts, cultural practice and ideas can defend culture as a human right through great art and storytelling. We work through socially engaged practice and curate a multi-artform program of exhibitions, performances, publications and events that respond to themes we believe are urgent for our time e.g. migration, climate change and democracy.
