Membership
Membership is free and open to any arts centre in the UK that embraces our principles.
We have an open and working definition of an arts centre:
- multi-art form organisation generally including performance,
- running a public-facing building,
- participatory/community-led programmes and a strong sense of working in its locality and with its communities.
Whilst we actively want to support and collaborate with organisations that don’t fall within that working definition (e.g. theatres which are single art-form, or organisations primarily focussed on artist development), Future Arts Centres has been established to support the broad but unique challenges faced by the arts centres sub-sector, so membership applies to the organisations that meet these considerations. Please get in touch if you have any questions or if you’re not sure if your organisation fits this working definition.
Future Arts Centres members benefit from:
- Invitations to meetings and events for Future Arts Centres leaders
- Access to our online peer support network, enabling members to instantly reach out to other arts centres across the UK for information, advice and support
- Inclusion in Future Arts Centres generated PR and advocacy activity
- Access to our annual salary benchmarking information
- Opportunities to be involved in Future Arts Centres funded projects
