Communications and Patrons Officer
Koestler Arts is renowned for its impactful work within the criminal justice system. From our new premises just outside HM Prison Wormwood Scrubs in East Acton our team works together to deliver our mission —to inspire participation in the arts by people in prisons and beyond and to build public recognition of their creative work, fostering communities that support rehabilitation.
We provide an annual awards programme — the Koestler Awards — open to people in prisons, secure mental health hospitals, immigration removal centres, and more; a post-release arts mentoring scheme; an arts membership for people in prison; family engagement opportunities; and a programme of exhibitions, events and publications. We work in partnership with other organisations and art world experts; recent show curators include Ai Weiwei, Jeremy Deller & John Costi, and groups of beneficiaries.
