Job Description

Trustees come to see shows, meet with artists and a varied group of fellow trustees. They contribute to quarterly board meetings and sometimes sub-committees, there’s an annual planning ‘away-day’, plus other bits and pieces as the needs arise.

We are based in Birmingham, but our meetings take place both virtually and in-person.
