Job Description

Chichester Festival Theatre is seeking a talented Exhibition Producer to enable the delivery of an exciting new heritage exhibition, supported by the National Heritage Lottery Fund.

Do you remember The Tent, Theatre on the Fly and The Spiegeltent? These venues offered space for us to do something a little bit different to our usual programming. The New Ventures project seeks to rediscover this rich but under-researched history of fringe venues at CFT. The project coincides with the launch of The Nest, our brand-new theatre venue opening at CFT in 2025.

As Exhibition Producer, you will oversee the planning and delivery of a dynamic exhibition for our Festival Theatre foyer. You will work closely with the Heritage and Archive Manager and freelance artists to bring the exhibition to life, serving as the primary producer responsible for the planning, coordination and execution of exhibition elements. The exhibition will subsequently travel to partner venues across West Sussex. This role would suit someone looking to add to their freelance portfolio at a world-class theatre.
