Span Arts is seeking to recruit new Board members to its Trustee Board to help guide and support our leadership team through recovery and reopening and help to shape a viable post-covid arts offer for Pembrokeshire.

We are open to new ideas and approaches as we want to find new ways of working to achieve our mission to make ‘Art as social change in rural Wales.’

SPAN is a vibrant forward-looking community arts charity which aims to deliver high quality arts projects and events to the people of west Wales.

Based in Narberth, since lockdown Span has continued to operate online, with staff working from home, using digital technology to enable us to continue to offer arts experiences, from Theatr Soffa, our online community theatre productions to online music gigs, workshops and The Kindness Project.

SPAN has offered a creative community service throughout the pandemic to help people feel connected, have fun and combat loneliness and social isolation through arts engagement.

“Following the departure of some long-standing Board members, we are now looking for experienced, passionate and well connected new board members, with the energy and ambition to help steer Span Arts into the future,” said Catherine Davies, chair for Span.

“We are looking for a diverse group of board members, with expertise and experience in finance, community development, the arts, equality, diversity, human resources and the Welsh language.

“We are delighted to have been able to use our creative flexibility during this time of challenge over the past year and a half to move forward digitally and continue to provide high quality arts experiences to our community here in west Wales.

“As we move back into a blend of more face to face contact alongside our digital offering, we look forward to welcoming new Board members with both creative minds and business acumen to join our team helping deliver Art as Social Change in Rural Wales.”
