About a-n

Our infrastructure ensures programmes represent the diversity of artists and contemporary visual arts practice. Our fee-paid advisers from across the UK complement and extend the knowledge and expertise of our staff, supporting strategic development and our knowledge base. From time-to-time, we seek new advisers and board members through open call.
