Culture for Climate Scotland is looking for an artist to work on the Sea Change project in Buckie.
Sea Change: Co-creating coastal futures is a multi-year, action-research project that will involve working with local communities and anchor organisations in two Scottish coastal locations that will be heavily affected by climate change and the transition to net zero.
The embedded artist will apply their creative skills and practices to work with the local community in Buckie, to build understanding of how climate change is affecting the area and what a just transition might look like in that specific context.
Salary: £36,622 pro rata for 0.5FTE, + 3% of salary in pension contributions
