Based at Mall Galleries in London, the FBA champions living artists through exhibitions, education and public engagement. Working with nine member art societies, we support artistic excellence, create opportunities for artists, and help inspire new audiences to engage with their work.
We are particularly interested in hearing from people with expertise in areas such as:
Fundraising and income generation
Communications and audience engagement
Digital and technology
Finance
Governance and organisational leadership

We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive Board, and welcome applications from people with a wide range of backgrounds, perspectives, skills, and experiences.
If you have the expertise, enthusiasm, and commitment to make a difference, we would love to hear from you.
