As some of our existing board members are retiring over the next twelve months, we are looking for new trustees, based locally, to help guide the charity through its next exciting phase of development.
Based in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, Hundred Heroines is the only UK charity dedicated to women in photography. We have created the world’s first museum dedicated to women in photography, holding prestigious exhibitions which have been critically acclaimed by the national press.
The ‘Heroines’ challenge how we see the world, push artistic and social boundaries, and highlight human rights issues. Through innovative exhibitions and events, we showcase the invaluable contribution women make – and have made – to the visual arts and to society, while building a living archive to increase public appreciation of their pioneering work and transformational humanitarian impact.
No previous charity or sector experience is necessary as full training will be provided. In particular, we are looking for the following attributes and skills:
- Enthusiasm for the charity’s work and commitment to its feminist aims
- Commit to regular involvement in the museum and gallery
- Have access to local networks and communities
- Experience of safeguarding and working with young people
- Fundraising and advocacy experience
- Marketing
- Digital expertise.
All our trustees benefit from:
- Elective training in museum specific skills including exhibition design
- A voice in collections and programming
- The opportunity to work with international artists
- Free access to the museums and galleries
- Reimbursement of expenses.
If you’re interested in bringing world-class art and exhibitions to the area, we’d love to hear from you!
