Curator, Folkestone Triennial 2028

Creative Folkestone is looking to appoint a curator with an exciting vision for Folkestone Triennial 2028.

We are seeking a curator who can build on the legacy of previous exhibitions while bringing their own distinctive approach to the UK’s largest exhibition of newly commissioned work. The successful candidate will work with Creative Folkestone’s experienced team to commission and deliver ambitious new works across the town and seafront, reflecting a diversity of artists, communities and audiences.
