Birnam Arts is seeking a new Chair for our Board of Trustees
Birnam Arts, (BA), our wonderful community arts centre located in beautiful Highland Perthshire, is seeking a new Chair to lead our Board of Trustees.
Having navigated our way through the challenges of the Covid 19 pandemic with the help and support of the community, this is an exciting time for Birnam Arts. An experienced new General Manager has joined us recently and we are delighted to have been awarded a Creative Scotland grant of over £50,000 to support our programme over the next year.
Ahead of the planned retirement of John Anderson, the longstanding and highly committed Chair of our Board of Trustees, we are looking for someone who can share their skills, passion, energy and experience in leading the oversight of Birnam Arts’ governance, strategy, and financial planning.
You don’t need to have an arts background or any particular formal qualification to become Chair but you should have an interest in the arts and the ambition to support and evolve this much loved community venue. If you would like to find out more about joining the BA Board, either as our new Chair or indeed as a member of the Board, current Board member Sarah Yearsley would love to hear from you. sarahyearsley@btinternet.com
Our call for initial expressions of interest is open until Monday 13th November 10am and we will undertake interviews on the basis of formal applications received later in November.
A fantastic opportunity to support Birnam Arts and dedicate a space to loved ones or shine a light on your business.

Welcome to Birnam Arts, a boutique multi-purpose arts, conferencing and entertainment venue.
Pop in to the Foyer Cafe for breakfast, grab a delicious coffee with a selection of our homemade baking or enjoy a light lunch whilst browsing on the free WiFi. Wander upstairs to view the latest of our monthly art exhibitions before visiting the world of Beatrix Potter, or the Gift Shop to purchase a special gift for your loved ones or yourself!
We had not planned to present a hybrid festival, however that changed when one of our main authors tested positive for Covid. I greatly appreciated how the team worked with us to pivot and present remotely in part, making full use of your enhanced video conferencing equipment. As a result, we were able to deliver quite complex events with several elements all showing on screen simultaneously. The audio-visual quality was excellent, and our audiences were delighted that these events could still go ahead, in spite of Covid. The author in question was really pleased that he could join us on screen and remarked that he had not been so well supported in this way at any other festival.
