About Market Gallery:
Market Gallery is a charitable artist-run organisation facilitated by a rolling committee of artists, a programme administrator and a board of trustees based in Glasgow's East End.

We are committed to engaging and presenting artists' work in collaborative projects and digital formats. We aim to offer an open and accessible platform for the discussion and experience of contemporary art in Glasgow and internationally.

About the role:
Market has employed a Programme Administrator since 2022, which has proved a hugely supportive and crucial role within the organisation.
