Engagement Producer - The Living Barracks

The Living Barracks project will deliver a thriving cultural hub and visitor destination as a focal point for public life in Berwick-upon-Tweed. The historic Parade Ground and wider site will continue to play an important part in the life of the town as the striking new home for the town's archives and collections, and as a venue for contemporary visual art and public events. Alongside the cultural offer the Barracks will be made vibrant through a mixed use as residential and as a base for local artists and makers, and the wider creative industries. Integral to the project is a commitment to engaging the local community, enabling greater participation with a particular focus on education and volunteering.

Through the Living Barracks Cultural Development Programme, artists and professional arts partners will be invited to take up residencies of differing durations to explore an open interpretation of the Barracks environment, physical spaces and heritage resources. These include the specific resources of the Berwick Archive, The King's Own Scottish Borderers archive and the museum, all of which will provide a stimulus for artistic interpretation and storytelling, to embrace and include the town, its communities, and the wider region beyond.
