Travelling Together aims to create an inclusive, engaging programme of museum development support and activity.

Travelling Together is funded through a combination of National Lottery Heritage Fund and Arts Council England grant funding.

The Cultural Producer role is a flexible, part time fixed term role to March 31, 2024, based at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery.

You will support the delivery of all aspects of project activity from design and development to implementation and evaluation, working with museums of all sizes as well as specialists in equity, diversity and inclusion and museum development colleagues across the region.

South West Museum Development receives funding from Arts Council England and Local Authorities from across the region to deliver museum development initiatives to 200+ museums across the South West of England. This role involves some regional travel across the South West.
