Lewisham Education Arts Network (LEAN) champions arts education in Lewisham through empowering artist educators, those that work with them and strategic partners to foster high quality creative opportunities for children and young people.
LEAN wishes to attract new trustees to its board with expertise in the fields of finance, business, marketing and PR, campaigning and the creative arts (i.e. Media, Design, Fine Art, Craft and Mixed Media).
Whilst having experience of working in the arts and/or education is desirable, an enthusiasm for and commitment to arts in education is far more important!
