NFASP has vacancies for the Chair of Board of Trustees and for Trustees
NFASP is looking to recruit new trustees and appoint a Chair of Board of Trustees.
The National Federation of Artists’ Studio Providers (NFASP) is the professional membership body championing and representing the interests of all those involved with managing and developing affordable studios for visual artists.
Our members support thousands of artists across the country by providing affordable workspace. This enables artists to continue their practice and to play a central role in helping to build vibrant and sustainable communities. We promote the development and sustainability of the studios sector by offering support and resources to our members and by campaigning for policy and decision-making in favour of the studios sector and artists.
The Chair and trustees will have a clear commitment to the vision and values of NFASP, an active interest in the creative sector, especially the visual arts, and experience of the voluntary sector.
The Chair will lead the development of the Board, provide guidance to the Director and staff team and will represent the organisation to a wide range of stakeholders. High quality chairing skills are essential. This is a key position for an experienced leader with a strong enthusiasm for contemporary art and artists.
Trustees: NFASP is particularly keen to recruit trustees who can offer senior level skills and expertise in: advocacy and campaigning; legal issues; planning and land use; property development; an active interest in the creative sector and experience of committee work in the voluntary sector.
Our membership extends to Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and we would welcome new trustees from these countries, or from the East, East Midlands and South West England regions, where we have no trustee representation at present.
Quarterly trustee meetings are held in various locations across the country; usually a morning or afternoon, meetings are sometimes combined with visits to studio groups or meeting with member. Trustees should be committed to taking part in meetings and other activities. The role is unpaid but we reimburse agreed expenses incurred on NFASP business.
Established in 2006, NFASP is a charitable company limited by guarantee and receives regular funding from Arts Council England.
