Training and leadership development

Future Arts Centres is not a training organisation — but we do convene events and sessions that respond directly to the needs of our members. Our focus is always on the real-world challenges faced by arts centre leaders, creating spaces to share knowledge and explore solutions together.

Recent sessions have supported members to unlock vital income through creative tax reliefs, to strengthen their organisations with good governance practice, and to navigate the complexity of branding and messaging for arts centres. We are also exploring fast-moving areas such as AI, helping leaders understand both the opportunities and the risks.

By bringing members together with peers and expert partners, we provide the tools, confidence, and insight to tackle complex issues in a supportive environment. This responsive approach ensures leaders are better equipped to make strategic decisions and to shape thriving, resilient arts centres for the future.
