Freelance Project Manager (Lowry Turns 25)

Lowry is a multi-art venue presenting a diverse programme of theatre and visual art. Located at Salford Quays we are the most visited attraction in Greater Manchester, consisting of theatre spaces plus art galleries with works by LS Lowry and modern artists.

Next year Lowry celebrates its 25th birthday having opened to the public in April 2000. As part of this we will hold a year of celebration with various events and activities marking the occasion.

Lowry Turns 25 is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we will deliver an ambitious heritage project celebrating Lowry’s 25th anniversary, bringing local histories to life, and exploring L.S. Lowry’s legacy as a champion of working class and industrial heritage.

We are recruiting a Project Manager to lead on the management and delivery of two key projects within the Lowry Turns 25 programme:

• One Lowry, Many Stories – An oral history project recording people’s memories of Lowry and the transformation of the Salford Quays area, culminating in the commissioning of two art installations, a digital archive and curated public playlist.

• Together We Create – commissioning 10 community organisations to develop a creative response to the heritage of Salford Quays and Lowry, presented at Lowry and community venues during 2025.
