Project Background
The Commonwealth Games Legacy Fund is supporting Wolverhampton Art Gallery to commission artists and creative practitioners to work with community organisations to co-design Wolverhampton's Cultural Strategy.

The Collections Assistant will support the Community Curator in this co-curation activity, developing collaborative and community led engagement sessions inspired by our collection.
