The two ambassadors include recently retired President of Tynwald Clare Christian OBE and renowned artist Michael Sandle, a member of the prestigious Royal Academy of Arts.
The four Arts Ambassadors include solo contemporary dancer, Lloyd Mayer, singer/actor Michelle Jamieson, singer/songwriter/musician Davy Knowles and principle trumpet player Jason Evans.
They will assist us in promoting and inspiring participation, creativity and excellence in the arts and culture, strengthening our links to the community and promoting our strong Manx identity.
These appointments are a reflection of the esteem in which the Arts Council and our cultural community hold them.
–Geoff Corkish MBE MLC, Chairman of the Arts Council
Established initially as an organisation to preserve the fine arts on the Isle of Man, the Arts Council has expanded it's span of support to cover all areas of the arts.
The Arts Council is currently supported by a team of two Arts Development Officers who run the Council's day-to-day business on its behalf.
