We’re looking for a Freelancer with broad marketing experience including promotion of events, social media content development experience and website content development understanding to help deliver our current heritage project: AMP Kingston.
With young people, this project is an exploration of Kingston’s music heritage from the 1960s – 1990s. This heritage will be identified, recorded and accessed in a range of interactive, sustainable ways. Through uncovering this heritage, AMP not only explores some of the most iconic musical acts of the late twentieth century, but celebrates pop fashion, costumes, album artwork, band posters and more.
Three themes are identified:
These have and will be presented and recorded through a series of exhibitions, pop-ups, young person-led creative interpretation and programming. The form of these will be decided and shaped by the young people involved.
Led by Creative Youth, but delivered in partnership with the AMP youth board for the project; known as the Heritage Collective. Other key partners include: Kingston Musuem, Kingston History Centre, Kingston University, Kingston College, Anstee Bridge, Achieving for Children (Piper Active Youth Club) and The Community Brain.
The freelancer will be supporting in delivering the National Heritage Lottery Fund and Arts Council England supported AMP Kingston: Art, Music and Pop Fashion project for Creative Youth.
The freelancer should have a basic understanding of the time period of Art, Fashion and Music between the 1960’s and 1990’s to enable them to work with the designer and curator to embed any content into the website.

Key responsibilities will be to take research and content from the curator and designer to promote the project and the final AMP exhibition.
