ABOUT VOX LIMINIS
Vox Liminis is a pioneering arts and community organisation working within the criminal justice sector. Through our creative work, we seek to generate fresh conversations and insights that challenge society’s responses to crime, harm and conflict. Based in Glasgow’s East End, we run creative projects in prisons and in the wider community with people who have committed crimes, people who have been victims of crime, those who have family experience of crime and justice processes, and others who work in this area.
Vox Liminis works within the arts to challenge all involved to think critically, imagining a better society for all. We believe the arts have a vital role to play in building connections, trust and belonging – restoring rather than furthering divisions. We have an excellent track record in delivering ambitious, socially engaged arts projects, and we are excited about our plans.
Our work is based on community development and socially engaged arts principles, and includes music, songwriting, creative writing, visual arts and theatre-making. We use socially engaged arts practice to make artistic work that actively involves communities and participants to co-create art that addresses social issues with a focus on positive social change. This prioritises dialogue and relationship building - where the process of making together is as important as the final artistic outcome - emphasising collaboration between artists and communities as equal partners in the creative process.
By sharing our work and creative processes publicly, we aim to spark thinking around:
- How people’s lives are affected by crime, punishment, and the criminal justice system
- Imagining together a more just society, and how we might work towards it.
Further information on our underpinning values, work, and future plans can be found on our website.
We are seeking a Senior Artistic Producer to lead the creative development and delivery of an ambitious two-year community artistic programme (2026-2028), funded by Creative Scotland. This pivotal new role will bring Vox Liminis' artistic and creative vision to life.
Working closely with and line-managed by the Director, you will build on Vox Liminis' strong relationships, partnerships, and artistic legacy to shape and deliver artistically excellent, community-led projects. You will be the consistent presence enabling collaboration across the programme - supporting our cohort of freelance artists, creating conditions for participants to engage creatively, and balancing the artistic and social intentions of the work.
You will bridge between artists, participants, partners, and funders while maintaining a commitment to living out our values in action, particularly with people whose lived and professional experiences are at the heart of our work. Overseeing projects from conception to completion, you will develop new artistic directions that strengthen existing relationships and expand our reach to new collaborators and audiences.
This role requires meticulous attention to detail, strategic and curatorial thinking, excellent facilitation and communication skills, and experience working with seldom heard or stigmatised communities in participatory arts.
Your role will be to shape and deliver artistic projects with people across Vox Liminis’ five overlapping thematic areas:
1. Transitions - focusing on people at the end of their prison sentence, when they transition home and return to the community.
2. Family - acknowledges the wide-ranging impact imprisonment has on family life, focusing on supporting imprisoned parents and working with organisations supporting families affected by the justice system, to identify where creative practice can strengthen family connections or highlight their experiences.
3. The Unbound Community - the ongoing creative community of Vox Liminis. The Unbound Community use their creativity and experiences to make a positive change for people involved in the criminal justice system. This includes the Unbound Sessional Team, who take on roles and responsibilities in projects, in paid (or voluntary, if preferred) positions.
4. Public-facing - represent Vox Liminis' programme in public settings to engage public and professional audiences in collaborative ways in the artwork and creative processes, including through performances, recordings, panel discussions, community gatherings, professional/practitioner workshops, or networking events - balancing artistic quality with collaboration and community ownership.
5. Learning and dissemination - Capturing and sharing learning, expanding networks, and creating opportunities for publication in collaboration with artists, project participants, and others in the wider sector aligned to Vox Liminis values and work.
