OUR TEAM
A small, dedicated staff team oversee the delivery of our work by exceptional and experienced artists, project and production support. Our work is overseen by a voluntary Board of Directors, from the arts, education, youth and business sectors, who meet regularly and participate in active sub-committees.
Recruitment opportunities are openly advertised but we are always keen to hear from artists and makers, facilitators, events staff, students and others wanting to work or volunteer with us. If you would like to stay up to date on these opportunities, please sign up to our newsletter like our Facebook page or follow us on Twitter. Or you can contact us here.
If you think you could contribute as a Board member to our development, we are keen to hear from you too.
