Seeking new ABF Trustees

download Trustee Candidate Pack

Following a significant legacy gift in early 2024, ABF is at the start of a new phase that will amplify the position of the charity as we enter our third century. Our strategic priority over the next five years is to scale up our grant-making activities, deliver greater and more wide-ranging support for artists in need, and thereby enrich and diversify the cultural landscape in England and Wales.

Having a diverse board of trustees is important to us, as we look to gain a broader view of how we might help aspiring artists from a wide range of cultures and backgrounds.  We are therefore looking for individuals with a background in at least one of the following areas:

• Equality, diversity and inclusivity

• Income generation: fundraising and HNWI networks

• PR & communications, specifically digital media

• Contemporary Art world, business sector knowledge

Who are we looking for?

• Graduates with an interest in contemporary visual arts

• Charity professionals with experience in fundraising

• Those with a background in finance and investment

• People engaged and passionate about the visual arts

Trustees provide their services on a voluntary basis, with any travel expenses being reimbursed. ABF’s trustee meetings are held in-person every quarter (four times each year).
