The Sayle Gallery is seeking candidates to serve as Directors of the Gallery.  The Gallery, which is both a registered company and an Isle of Man Charity, has a number of vacancies on its Board and believes this is a chance for someone with an interest in visual arts to have a say in the running of one of the longest established art galleries in the Isle of Man.

The Sayle Gallery has a commitment to excellence in its provision of access to the visual arts, and in support for local artists.  It also provides a space for prestigious exhibitions transferred from elsewhere in the British Isles.  The Gallery is located in a prime position on the Harris Promenade in Douglas, as part of the Villa Marina arts complex, and operates in close cooperation with other local arts organisations within the complex.

We are looking for people with an interest in visual art, preferably with some administrative or business experience, to serve as Board Directors of the Gallery.  The Board gives strategic guidance to the management of the Gallery.  The position is voluntary and most of the workers at the Sayle Gallery are unpaid.  The minimum time commitment is to attend board meetings about once a month.

The Sayle Gallery is supported by the Arts Council of the Isle of Man.  Any appointment will be made by the current board of directors - Roger Phillips (Chairman), Michael Hazel and Heather Paisley -  and is subject to subsequent validation by the membership of the Gallery at an AGM.

The closing date for applications is Friday 14 September, and anyone interested should contact Lynn Dawson on 01624 674557 or by email at saylegallery@manx.net, marking your email for the attention of Lynn Dawson, and putting ‘Board Directors’ in the subject line.
