Ladies and Gentlemen, lovers of classical beauty,

As we prepare to launch The Lysene Cultural Foundation, we are seeking an inspired, knowledgeable, and visionary volunteer Head of The Arts to join our founding team and guide the artistic direction of this new cultural charity.

The Foundation exists to advance public understanding of Renaissance, Beaux‑Arts, and classical artistic traditions. We believe that beauty is a public good, something that enriches lives, strengthens communities, and connects us to our shared cultural heritage. Inspired by the artistic world of the Principality of Lys, the Foundation brings this vision to the public through exhibitions, educational programmes, research, and artistic support.

To ensure that our artistic output reflects the elegance, craftsmanship, and human creativity at the heart of classical art, we are seeking a leader who can shape our artistic identity and champion excellence across all cultural programmes.

About the Role

We are seeking a volunteer Head of The Arts who will:

• Lead the development of the Foundation’s artistic vision and creative strategy.

• Provide expertise on classical art, curation, exhibitions, and artistic partnerships.

• Guide the creation of programmes that celebrate Renaissance, Beaux‑Arts, and classical traditions.

• Support collaborations with artists, scholars, craftspeople, and cultural institutions.

• Ensure artistic integrity, quality, and coherence across all public‑facing work.

• Work collaboratively with trustees and advisors to align artistic direction with the Foundation’s mission.

• Dedicate approximately 4–8 hours per month, with full flexibility around schedule and involvement.

• Bring deep cultural insight, creativity, and a passion for classical artistic excellence.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the artistic soul of a new cultural institution from its earliest days.

Our Vision

The Foundation seeks to preserve the elegance of the past, celebrate the creativity of the present, and inspire the artists of the future. Through exhibitions, learning initiatives, and public engagement, we aim to make classical beauty a shared public resource.

Your work as Head of The Arts will help define the Foundation’s creative identity and ensure that our programmes reflect the timeless ideals of beauty, harmony, and craftsmanship.

An Invitation

If you believe in the enduring power of beauty and wish to contribute your artistic expertise to a meaningful cultural mission, we would be delighted to speak with you.

Together, we can build a living legacy of art, architecture, and craftsmanship — one that will flourish for generations.
