I’m very happy to announce that I have been named a member of the Board of Trustees of Axis, a charity that supports artists and champions best practices in the creative industries in the UK. I was attracted to the role because Axis was looking for trustees who consider themselves champions of equal access, anti-racism, and fair distribution in whatever field they work in. Those words strongly resonated with me!
Axis was founded in 1991 as an organisation that supports artists all over the UK by nurturing a culture of collaboration and growth, and creating opportunities for artists while encouraging and facilitating good practice in the visual arts.
They do this by creating access to the arts through their multiple programmes: Vacant Spaces (pop up art spaces in high streets all over the country), Graduate programme to ease the transition of students of art into the creative industries, Fellowship scheme with commissions, Hardship Fund, and more.
I couldn’t be prouder of being a member of the board of trustees of this organisation because they represent everything that I stand for. You can find out more about Axis and the work they do on their website axisweb.org or any of their social media @axisweb.
