The Core Consortium of Luton’s Creative People and Places (CPP) programme is seeking a new paid Independent Chair to play a leading role in assuring good governance of the CPP, funded by Arts Council England (ACE). In addition, through structured discussion at quarterly consortium meetings, the Chair will support the identification and realisation of strategic alliances – within and across the Core Consortium – aligned to the aims of the CPP, for the benefit of least engaged and underserved audiences in Luton.

The appointment of the Independent Chair follows recent development activities with the Core Consortium, to enhance the potential for strategic and collaborative ways of working across its membership. The Core Consortium welcomes a workshop approach to meetings – in addition to governance requirements – that echoes the action research principles of CPP, with quarterly meetings forming part of the CPP’s mechanism for change.

Revoluton Arts was established as an Arts Council England-funded Creative People and Places (CPP) project in 2015 and became an independent organisation in 2020. Over the last few years, we’ve produced bold new work putting Luton on the map in increasingly creative ways. Now is an exciting time to join the team as we prepare to deliver many new and ambitious projects.

This is a great time to join Luton’s CPP, with £1 million funding confirmed from ACE for CPP delivery across the town, 2026-29. This is a testament to the successes of Luton’s multifaceted CPP programme, in respect of the process of community engagement and the quality of the art produced.

Equity, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of everything we do, from programming work with, by and for Lutonians, through to how we budget and build partnerships. We are committed to our organisation reflecting and celebrating Luton’s incredible diversity across ethnicity, age, gender, disability and socio-economic background. We therefore especially welcome applications from people with lived experience of the communities that we work with.
