The Contemporary Art Society has been a pioneering force in contemporary art since 1910. It offers artists space to share politically, socially and culturally relevant ideas. This extends to our working family, and we value the diversity of all our staff and the enrichment this brings to our work. As an organisation with a national remit, we recognise our responsibility not only to be actively diverse in all aspects of our own activity, but to promote and encourage action through our networks across the country. We are committed to an inclusive and supportive environment for all who come to work with us.

The Contemporary Art Society is one of the world’s leading art charities based in Central Street. Our work impacts museums across the UK. Because of this, working here might also mean working across the sites of our museum members.

Our hours are 9.30 - 17.30 and we adopt a flexible hybrid work culture. We ask that all teams come into office at least two days a week.

We are proud that the Contemporary Art Society has been a charity driving forward the best in contemporary art since 1910.
