Description

This is a unique opportunity for someone who will assist The Gaiety, Ayr in our mission to “enhance individual and community well-being through the performing arts”. The new Chair will build on strong foundations, helping to shape our future strategy, deepen community impact, and strengthen our cultural, commercial and civic partnerships.

We’re seeking an experienced and inspiring leader who can:

• Chair our Board with clarity, confidence and emotional intelligence;
• Act as a strategic partner to our Executive / Artistic leads;
• Bring or cultivate networks across culture, business, or public life;
• Be a passionate advocate for the value of the arts in rural and regional Scotland.

While experience in theatre or the wider arts sector would be valuable, we also welcome applications from leaders in business, education, public service or philanthropy who have a strong personal connection to the arts and a desire to make a difference. We particularly welcome interest from individuals from underrepresented backgrounds in arts leadership.
