Work with us

Kala Sangam is seeking an evaluator to help us understand the impact of our planned £7m+ Capital refurbishment and the district-wide programme of Arts & Heritage Activity that will accompany it.

We are seeking proposals from evaluators (individuals, teams or organisations) with a flexible and adaptable approach to provide both formative and summative evaluations.

You will help us to evaluate the impact of a first year of activity, that will be co-curated with communities, and to formally make recommendations in March 2025 which will inform our second year of delivery.

You will help us evaluate both the potential impact of Kala Sangam’s redevelopment during Capital works and the actual impact after reopening – including the impact the redevelopment has on local economic growth and productivity.

This request for proposals covers two Phases of the project, with Phase-2 (Delivery) subject to the successful outcome of remaining funding applications.

Deadline      

Proposals should be submitted to Kala Sangam’s Creative Director, Alex Croft, via email to alex@kalasangam.org by 5pm on Friday 26^th May 2023.
