Chair at D6: Culture in Transit

Based in Newcastle, D6 is a visual arts producer rooted in North East England with an international reach. Our major programmes are built on collaboration and shared values, bringing people together to advance social justice and environmental awareness.

Over a thirty year history, D6 has worked with exceptional artists and partners locally and internationally to commission and present powerful art, often in public spaces. With a belief in the power of art to build fairer, more open and generous societies, we focus programmes of work on the climate emergency, cultural rights and colonial legacies.
We are looking for someone who shares our vision.
The role will influence future funding, partnerships and advocacy, strengthening our position as a leader in cultural exchange and cross-border collaboration. It requires someone who demonstrates a strong appreciation of local and international collaboration and the value it brings.

Equal opportunity
We welcome applicants from people of all backgrounds and lived experiences, in particular those who are currently under-represented within the arts and our staff team. This includes, but is not limited to people who identify as Disabled, d/Deaf, Global Majority, and people with lived experience of migration.

We are committed to a diverse and inclusive Board and an accessible recruitment process
