Join our board of directors
Do you think that having culture in our lives is important? Do you think the arts have a role to play in connecting people and neighbourhoods? Can you imagine a world where our borders are open, and our stories and connections revealed through artistic collaboration?
Would you be interested in joining our board of directors to take a journey with us on a programme that connects the local to the international, the neighbourhood to the policy makers? With talented artists, intrepid partners, and recently successful National Lottery Heritage Fund, Arts Council and Creative Europe funding we are stepping into an extraordinarily rich programme of residencies, exhibition and events. A programme that considers our heritage, our community and our place in the world.
