HOW TO APPLY
To apply, please send us a short statement of interest. Include your name, contact details and the name of your school/place of study. As a guide, the statement should answer these points:
1. Why you are interested in the joining the group.
2. What you hope to learn from being part of the group.

Please email your statement to Amanda and Nicola, contact@youngcurators.com
We will interview applicants and select 12 young people to join the programme. We will either arrange an interview at your school (date to be confirmed) or after school at the Gibberd Gallery.
Interviews will last 10-15 minutes and will be a chance for us to find out more about you. We will follow a fairly formal structure to give you the professional experience of an interview (we think interviews are an important work experience opportunity to offer young people.) However we are very friendly- the interview is nothing to feel worried about!
We would be delighted to hear from you, either with a statement of interest or any questions you may have.
Deadline for applications: Friday 20th September 2019
