TRANSFORM IS WHERE LEADERSHIP PATHWAYS ARE BUILT AND POWER IS SHARED.
Transform supports Global Ethnic Majority leaders who want to shape the cultural sector as Executives, Curators and Trustees. Through structured experience, mentorship and real responsibility, the programme creates pathways into positions of influence, ensuring leadership is representative, confident and equipped for long-term impact.
Key Activities Include:
Lead: An Associate Artistic Director works alongside NAE’s executive and leadership team to shape and lead their own season of work. The Associate is provided with dedicated programme funds and tailored executive mentorship, building senior-level leadership experience within a live institutional context.
Curate: Emerging curators take part in a tailored development programme designed to strengthen curatorial practice, expand professional networks and build the confidence required to lead ambitious artistic programmes.
Reshaping Governance: Practitioners and arts workers join a governance training pathway that builds confident, empowered Trustees. Participants gain practical insight into board responsibilities and develop the authority to contribute meaningfully to institutional decision-making.
Transform National: Delivered in partnership with CVAN England and DASH, Transform National supports the next generation of Executive Directors through paid senior leadership placements, mentoring and professional development. Find out more about here.
