About the Department
Warwick Arts Centre is the largest multi art form arts centre outside London, presenting events, activities, films and exhibitions to over 200,000 people every year.


We are one of the region's leading learning, visual arts, cinema and performing arts venues. We work with exceptional artists and creatives from the city, region and globally delivering a programme that reflects our local and global context. As an arts centre on a university campus our ambition is to develop programmes which speak to and reach our audiences on campus, in the city of Coventry and the wider region. Our city is one of the most ethnically diverse and youngest in Europe our goal is to reflect this through our work and the people we employ.

Vision and Values

When we re-opened our new building in 2021 a new brand positioning was developed with a focus on forming a better bridge between arts and the community and also highlighting the venue as a melting pot of different people and ideas:

Purpose

- We're here to share our love for the arts

Belief

- We believe the arts are a place we can all meet - a place to share our experiences, a place to find common ground and understanding, a place to connect, to transform and explore new possibilities together.

Promise

- Experiences you'll feel and never forget - be it joy, excitement or sadness and whoever you are, wherever you're from
