Join Project’s Board of Directors

Do you want to help shape the future of the arts?

Do you want to support a dynamic, vital arts organisation bursting with opportunities but facing enormous challenges?

Project Arts Centre, Ireland’s leading centre for contemporary arts is searching for two new Directors to join our Board.

Project Arts Centre wishes to appoint new people to our Board of Directors. We are looking for people who are committed to a belief in the power of arts and culture to change the world. People who have the capacity to support our brilliant team to deliver a dynamic programme of events across artforms at our purpose-built centre in the heart of Dublin and in venues across Ireland and the world. People who want to put the arts at the centre of conversations about the kind of world we want to live in.

In 2020, we are thinking about who gets access to cultural and creative spaces. What happens to an artistic programme when no rules apply? How does an arts centre inform the art it nurtures and presents and how does that art, in turn, impact the development of the centre? What questions are artists asking and how can an organisation like Project help artists explore potential answers?
