Head of Creative Infrastructure and Public Art

This is a new senior role to lead the strategy and delivery of Bricks Public Art and Creative Infrastructure Agency, growing both into sustainable and impactful enterprises.

You will oversee strategic planning, partnership development, and securing and contracting new work and spaces. You will also shape new programmes and document the tools and methodologies that underpin our delivery.

You will line-manage our public art producers and consultants (freelance or in-house) and sit on the Senior Management Team alongside the CEO, Head of Finance, Head of Operations, and Head of Programme (St Anne’s).

This role will drive the planning and delivery of high-quality, community-responsive programmes, supporting Bricks’ mission through public art commissions across the West of England. Working with the CEO, team, and board, you will set the creative direction and lead its implementation.

With five years of public art programming and four years at St Anne’s House, Bricks is now ready to expand its ambition: refining processes, raising quality, and delivering larger, more ambitious projects. Building on our strong community-responsive work, we aim to support artists with space and time to create, deepen long-term community collaborations, and strengthen our cross-artform and cross-sector partnerships.

Our intention is to acquire multiple new spaces over the next 24 months via planning conditions and S106.
