Inviting Artists, Creatives, Musicians & Cultural Organisations to join the voluntary GAON Advisory Board! Green Arts Oxfordshire Network is looking for creative voices, and representatives of cultural organisations to play a central role in the development of our grassroots network, having a say in decision making and direction as members of our volunteer Advisory Board.
Joining the Advisory Board is a great opportunity to strengthen relationships between artists and organisation based GAON members, working together to lead local action against the climate and ecological crisis.
The GAON Advisory Board connects and builds the green arts community, harnessing the arts to work towards climate justice and regenerative futures in Oxfordshire.
This role is voluntary, though we seek funding to remove barriers to participation.
