4. Join our advisory board

We are excited to announce an open call for new advisory board members who will join us for the next three years.

Since its inception in 2015, credited largely to the late Kev Ryan (the founder of Charnwood Arts), The Generator CIC has been fortunate to have a dedicated and visionary board of individuals who generously contributed their time and expertise. Their commitment was instrumental in assembling a dynamic design team, securing public funding, establishing a governance structure, and creating the framework that positions The Generator for success in an increasingly delicate cultural landscape.
