The EQ-Arts Board is comprised of members who, together, constitute the governing body of the Foundation. To discharge its responsibilities the Board will act independently of all external interests and/or influences, including governments (given its non-governmental status) and other stakeholders. Consequently, members of the Board are appointed in a personal capacity (no Board member is there to represent the interests of an organisation, agency or institution).
The current Board consists of:
Professor Paula Crabtree (Chair): former Vice-Chancellor, Stockholm University of the Arts, Sweden.
Dr. Sarah Bennett (Secretary): Artist and Visiting Fellow, Kingston School of Art, Kingston University, United Kingdom.
Lars Ebert: Programme Director H401, Amsterdam; member executive committee of Culture Action Europe, Brussels, and independent advisor for arts and education, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
