We believe in the power of contemporary art to inspire, challenge and bring people together. Our vision is to be a leading international contemporary art gallery, known for our innovative exhibitions, events and local engagement programmes. We are at an important moment in Nottingham Contemporary’s history as we deliver a transformative process of rearticulating our purpose and shaping our future. This includes securing our long-term financial standing by developing and working towards ambitious and entrepreneurial income generation strategies and building on new and existing partnerships, members and supporters.

We are open to receiving all types of applications. We are particularly keen to hear from:

• Young people so our board better matches our young audience
• People with a strong link to the city of Nottingham and our work
• Fundraisers who can help us raise awareness of NC, open doors, make introductions and help us bring in donations
• Creatives who are actively involved in the arts scene in Nottingham, nationally and internationally
• People who know what makes teams work better, with expertise in HR, organisational change or People and Culture
• We want our trustees to be representative of the people we serve; including people with disabilities, from the global majority and from lower socio-economic backgrounds

Time commitment: We would normally expect trustees to prepare for and take part in 4–5 Board meetings per year. In addition, trustees will help develop key pieces of work. Overall, this will require about 50 hours over a year.
