As a Trustee of Watts Gallery Trust, you will help guide and champion the charity’s mission of “Art for All by All.” Working collaboratively with fellow Trustees and the executive team, you will shape the strategic direction of the organisation, ensure strong governance and financial oversight, and act as an advocate for its vision and values. Trustees play a key role in protecting the Gallery’s historic buildings and collections, supporting its inclusive learning and community programmes, and ensuring that everything the Trust does continues to deliver genuine public benefit.
Job Requirements
Watts Gallery Trust is seeking four new Trustees to contribute constructively to Board discussions at a pivotal time of regeneration for the Trust.
The Trust is particularly interested in hearing from individuals with a demonstrable record in leadership in the following areas:
- Communications and digital marketing (especially in arts/events)
- Commercial experience, e.g. CRM, data and insights
- Arts/heritage venue management
- Art curation and conservation
- Community engagement (Surrey/Hampshire focus)
- Charity management
This is an opportunity to join a committed team responsible for advancing the vision and legacy of artists and social activists, George Frederic Watts and Mary Seton Watts, while developing Watts Gallery, Limnerslease, the Cemetery Chapel and the grounds as a unique cultural destination dedicated to the exploration of art and creativity.
Typically, Trustees devote approximately one day per month to their role.
