Lancaster Arts
Lancaster, Lancashire
Two Chair opportunities - cultural leadership, strategic insight, governance, advocacy, and collection development Lancaster Arts is a dynamic and ambitious combined arts organisation, embedded within Lancaster University and supported as an Arts Council England NPO. Its programme spans contemporary performance, music, visual art, commissions, artist residencies, Creative Gatherings and public programmes across the Nuffield Theatre, the Great Hall, the Peter Scott Gallery, campus spaces and locations across the wider region.

Its work brings together artists, researchers, students, communities and audiences through programmes that are socially engaged, internationally relevant and rooted in a commitment to social and environmental justice.

Building on the 100,000 Genomes Project, we support the NHS's world-first national whole genome sequencing service and run the growing National Genomic Research Library, alongside delivering numerous major genomics initiatives.
