About the role

Knowledgeable creatives and arts educators are invited to join a new sub group of the Isle of Man Arts Council. This volunteer role offers the chance to contribute your expertise to the management of the Arts Councils Modern and Contemporary Art Loan Collection.

* Art in the Manx Curriculum at Primary or Secondary level

* Modern and Contemporary British and International artists
