We are seeking a temporary art educator (75% employment level) who is creative, imaginative, and can inspire joy in creation across all age groups. To succeed in this role, you are a team player who is constructive and flexible. You enjoy working with others and are committed to integrating and strengthening art education in everyday activities. Together with our skilled guides, you as an art educator form the important link between our activities and the public.
Your responsibilities
Our two art educators develop, plan, and coordinate the unit's educational activities together. This includes, for example, art walks, guided tours of our current exhibitions, creative school programs, workshops, holiday activities, presentation of Halmstad Municipality's art collection, and participation projects in new artistic designs in public spaces.
The starting point is to broaden and deepen knowledge about art, as well as promote creativity and understanding of artists' work processes and techniques. The assignment includes staying updated on developments in the art education field, actively working on method development, and taking a norm-critical approach to making the art field accessible to more people.
The unit's goal is to make art accessible to the public as a broad audience, whether in terms of art historical perspectives or current social processes depicted through contemporary art. Children and young people are particularly prioritized, and our work includes, for example, annual art walks offered to all 5-year-olds in Halmstad Municipality as part of the so-called Kotte project.
The temporary position is primarily based at Mjellby Art Museum and includes regular staffing, including weekend duties at the museum. Mjellby Art Museum is the Halmstad Group's museum from its inception, with a strong focus on modernism and surrealism in its exhibition program.
As an art educator, you meet different target groups and therefore need to be attentive and quickly adapt the situation according to needs.
The responsibilities include some administration as well as financial and unit-spanning functions.
Your qualifications
We are looking for someone who has:
- Art education or art history education, or demonstrated relevant experience that the employer considers equivalent for the assignment
- Good knowledge of artistic materials and techniques
- Good knowledge of museum education and communication
- At least one year of experience working with groups and meeting children, young people, adults, and seniors in conversations about art
- Ability to work structurally and communicatively
- Class B driver's license
It is meritorious if you have:
- At least one year of experience in service work
- At least one year of experience in administration and planning
Great weight is placed on personal qualities.

We create art experiences for Halmstad residents and visitors through exhibitions at Mjellby Art Museum, where we preserve the Halmstad Group's cultural heritage and develop the Nordic's only surrealist museum.
