Current Vacancies
Head of Grants, Trusts and Foundations
The Serpentine Gallery is a ground-breaking public art gallery dedicated to international modern and contemporary art, architecture, education and public programmes. Based in Kensington Gardens, Central London, it is widely recognised as one of London’s leading galleries and attracts approximately 800,000 visitors each year.
This is one of the most exciting times in the Serpentine Gallery’s 42-year history. A new space, the Serpentine Sackler Gallery, will open in late 2012 and will bring a unique listed building into public use for the first time in its 206-year history and provide a new cultural destination and landmark for London. The new space will complement the existing programmes by presenting pioneering art, architecture, design, dance, fashion, film, literature, music, performance, science and technology.
The aim of this role will be to develop and implement a fundraising strategy to maximise the income of the Serpentine Gallery from charitable trusts, foundations and any other statutory sources.
The successful candidate will have a proven track record in fundraising from Trusts, Foundations and other grant-giving bodies and prior experience of the arts.
