3 Trustees - Tate

Location: London
Date Posted: 08/04/2021
Closing Date: 09/05/2021
Unremunerated

The Tate is looking to appoint an Artist Trustee, Public Affairs Trustee and International Business Trustee to the board.

Tate is an executive non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, and an Exempt Charity. It is governed by a Board of Trustees in accordance with the Museums and Galleries Act 1992. Its aim is to increase the public’s understanding and enjoyment of British art and of international modern and contemporary art by:

  • Making the Collection available to the public
  • Adding to the Collection
  • Extending the public knowledge and understanding of British, modern and contemporary art
  • Caring for the Collection
  • Researching the Collection

Tate receives Grant-in-Aid funding from Parliament, provided through the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). It raises the majority of its revenue through self-generated income from:

  • Admission to temporary exhibitions;
  • Tate’s relationship with sponsors and corporate members, donors, patrons and members;
  • Tate Enterprises Limited which is Tate’s trading arm comprising catering, retail, publishing, product development, picture library and licensing; and
  • National and international partnerships.

In the last reporting year of 2019-20, total income was £155,000,000. Of this amount, £130,700,000 was applied to ongoing operations, £4,900,000 to the ongoing capital programmes, and £19,400,000 to Collection acquisitions. However, since that point, Tate has like all museums and galleries been heavily affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and is currently adapting to circumstances of reduced income and visitors.

Further information on the 2019-20 activities can be found in Tate’s annual accounts and the annual report covering this period.
