Rooted in its local context with a particular focus on the St Ives Modernists, the gallery seeks to reflect the radical nature of this legacy in a dynamic programme of modern and contemporary art. The Museum is currently embarked on a 13.3m GBP capital project, completing in 2016, which will transform the gallery's ability to host and engage with a variety of visiting and local audiences and improve the capacity of its artistic programme.

They will play a key role with the Executive Director in setting the strategic direction and business plan for Tate St Ives and will represent Tate St Ives effectively to artists, collectors and institutions in Cornwall and the South West, also nationally and internationally.
Candidates for this Director-level post will not only have a distinguished track record as a curator of modern and contemporary art and a deep commitment to and understanding of learning programmes, they will also be able to demonstrate management and leadership capability.
