It is also a time for creative generation as the close of 2024 marks the end of our 2022-2024 programme of delivery, meaning the Deputy Artistic Director will be central to the development and delivery of Good Chance’s ambitious artistic programme 2025-2027 and beyond. This will include developing our artist development strand of work and our next major international public artwork for 2026/27.
