The Arts Council now wishes to appoint a Visual Arts Assessor who will meet the needs of the organisation both from a quality and service delivery perspective. The Assessor sought is primarily to cover areas of work described in sections 3.1 and 3.2 of the ITT. 3.1 Appraisal and assessment of applications. To assist the Council in the process of evaluating applications received from individual artists and groups of artists for awards, schemes, grants and other funding opportunities offered by the Council, either independently or in conjunction with another body. In visual arts, the number of applications for which a written assessment report is required within a calendar year is expected to be approximately: • 2,000 primary assessments • 140 secondary assessments Primary assessments are full assessments and are required where the Visual Arts Assessment takes priority in informing a decision or recommendation. This would apply to named visual arts assessments e.g. the Visual Arts Bursary Award, Project Award.
