Vice-Chair recruitment

Dear Colleague

Welcome to this dedicated microsite for the Deputy Chair role at Lowry. This is an important moment in our organisation’s journey and I am delighted that you are considering lending your time, energy and expertise to support our mission.

At Lowry, we believe deeply in the power of collective commitment. Our board, staff, artists, volunteers and partners together make possible the creative work, community connection and social impact we achieve every year. The Deputy Chair will play a crucial part in shaping our future, bringing experience, vision, empathy and strong governance to help guide our shared ambitions.

2025 is our 25th birthday year. It is a moment for reflection and celebration, but also for looking ahead. With the opening of our new immersive digital gallery in spring 2025 and an ambitious programme of work across our theatre, galleries and learning , we are already beginning to shape what the next 25 years could and should look like for Lowry, for Salford and for the wider cultural landscape.

If you are appointed to this role, you will be joining a board that values collaboration, curiosity and care, and that is committed to ensuring Lowry continues to be a place of opportunity, creativity and belonging for all.

Thank you for your interest and for taking the time to explore whether this role might be right for you. Good luck! I look forward to discovering what we might achieve together.

With warm regards

Nazir Afzal OBE
Chair, The Lowry
