    ARTS CIRCLE NEWSLETTER ~ Issue 1 SPRING 2014 News and Events l The New Towner Trust l Our AGM News l Events at the Birley Centre l Friday Lectures at Towner www.eastbourneartscircle.org.uk David Dimbleby announced as first Chair of Towner One of the country’s finest television broadcasters, David Dimbleby, has accepted an invitation to become the Towner’s first Chair of the Board of Trustees. Towner will become an independent charitable trust on 1 April 2014 and will be in a much stronger position to secure funding for new projects, commission new work from leading artists and acquire new works for its outstanding collection. David Dimbleby said: “I am very excited by being asked to chair the Board of Trustees of Towner when it becomes a charity in April. I have been a supporter of Towner since I turned the first sod of the new building five years ago and then cut the ribbon for its opening. Towner is a wonderful gallery space in a fine building, which has been a great boost to Eastbourne. From the many films I have made for BBC 1 on the arts in Britain I know the appeal of art to the public is growing all the time and it is a priviledge to have been asked to help to nurture it. My main focus will be to support the work of our new Executive Director, Emma Morris, who has ambitious plans to build on the work of the past few years. Art enriches our lives and we are determined to bring it to as many people as possible through our award winning work with schools and young people with special needs who otherwise may never set foot in a gallery.” Emma Morris, said: “I am delighted that David has agreed to be the Chair of Towner when we move to an independent charitable trust.
