Association for Art History Trustees

Call For Applications

We are looking to appoint new members to our Board of Trustees, who will join other board members, staff and stakeholders to fulfil our mission to advance the study and practice of art history.

As the subject association for Art History in the UK, the AAH connects those engaged with art history, and we advocate on behalf of the subject, stressing its importance in a well-rounded education and influencing relevant policy.

Our strategy outlines how we will strengthen the subject and support all those in the broad art history community including, among others, academics and students in the higher education sector, teachers in pre-university education, curators, and prospective students of art history and their parents.

The Association is governed by a committed board of twelve Trustees from various backgrounds and interests in art history. The full board meets four times per year, at our offices in central London.

Board membership is on a voluntary basis with travel expenses to meetings and events reimbursed. We would like to add Trustees to our Board in the HE/academic, pre-university education, fundraising, and communications and marketing fields.

The search for new Trustees will reflect the values of the organisation and be consistent with the aims of our Equality Diversity and Inclusion statement and action plan outline.

We seek those who understand the challenges facing the arts and humanities and are committed to helping us reduce the barriers to engaging with our subject with regard to the range of protected characteristics and particularly those who face barriers as a result of class, race/ethnicity, gender or disability.

We invite applications from those with a variety of career stage, experience, personal characteristics or circumstance. To apply for a post on the board, please send a CV and a letter outlining your interest in the Association and the pertinent skills or experience you would bring to our work to info@forarthistory.org.uk.

The deadline for applications is Friday, 28 March 2025.

If you are considering an application and have questions about the Board or the organisation please contact the CEO, Gregory Perry, on info@forarthistory.org.uk. Contact with the Chair of the board can also be arranged.
