The Reel Store (Coventry City of Culture Trust)

The UK’s first permanent immersive digital art gallery, The Reel Store, presented by Coventry City of Culture Trust, will open in Coventry from Friday 13 May 2022, becoming a permanent new visitor attraction in the heart of the city. Located in the former home of the Coventry Evening Telegraph newspaper, a distinctive post-war building, works are currently underway to transform the old reel store, which was once home to the rolls of paper onto which the city’s stories would be printed. The main 800m2 exhibition space will house a large projection mapping canvas with multiple high quality video projectors and an immersive sound system.

Following on from the huge popularity of immersive art spaces around the world, the space will feature innovative experiential art commissions. Looking to welcome over 150,000 visitors in its first year, The Reel Store will be a nationally significant visitor attraction, a cultivation space for digital immersive storytellers and an affordable awe-inspiring experience.

Coventry City of Culture Trust is now looking to appoint a Director for The Reel Store who will have responsibility for programming, international partnership building, advocacy, commercial leadership, and venue management. Candidates should be well networked within the global digital arts world, have strong commercial negotiation skills, have an appetite for building a talent pipeline, be a clear communicator and be able to demonstrate a genuine interest in developing mainstream audiences.

They will ideally have a track record in growing creative businesses and will work closely with the Trust’s Senior Team and the Board to devise a long-term strategy for The Reel Store – creating fruitful networks and partnerships in the UK and internationally. They will be an effective communicator and advocate, able to build and maintain strong relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders, colleagues, agencies and partners. Candidates should also have a deep commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, widening access and environmental sustainability.

Saxton Bampfylde Ltd is acting as an employment agency advisor to Coventry City of Culture Trust on this appointment. For further information about the role, including details about how to apply, please visit www.saxbam.com/appointments using reference EBDMA. Alternatively telephone +44 (0)20 7227 0880 (during office hours). Applications should be received by noon on Friday 27th May 2022.
