Four York is a partnership between York Museums Trust, York Theatre Royal, Pilot Theatre and York City Archives and City Library which covers all aspects of the arts and culture in the City of York. They are using their grant of £51,000 to develop their collective ability to reach new audiences and to improve the quality of their creative programmes.
The Leadership Lab, a north-west-based partnership of performing arts and music organisations, has been awarded £60,000 to develop a programme of activity for leaders both within and outside the partner organisations. One of the main aims of the programme is to encourage leaders to embrace risk, innovation and entrepreneurial thinking.
The Associate Company Scheme has been awarded £50,000 to provide leadership development opportunities at the Young Vic, the Opera Group, Fevered Sleep and B3Media. Leaders from all four organisations will receive formal mentoring from the Young Vic's artistic and executive directors as well as consultation and advice sessions and tailored work plans.
The Leadership and Organisational Development Programme, a partnership led by Tate, has been awarded £100,000. The money will be used to develop a programme for existing and future leaders working within 11 museums and art galleries in England - all of which are starting or are in the middle of capital development projects. The partner organisations include The Hepworth in Wakefield and BALTIC in Gateshead.
