Chichester gallery appoints new trustee

Oxmarket Contemporary Gallery in Chichester has appointed KATE FITZGERALD as a trustee and director.

A legal and business development consultant, FitzGerald recently stepped down from her position as a non-executive director of Southern Health NHS Foundation at the expiry of her term, a role she had held for six years.  
 
FitzGerald began her career as a barrister and worked as a commercial lawyer in the City of London for over 30 years. She has a special interest in creating and sharing opportunities as well as ‘identifying and supporting development of aptitudes and talent’.

Oxmarket’s chair, LOUISE MYLES, said: “Kate has an impressive track record of success, not only from her work in the field of law, but also in the many committees and public bodies that she has worked on over the years, including the NHS.

“We’re delighted to have Kate on board to share her deep expertise and make a wonderful addition to our team.”

FitzGerald said she was looking forward to working with the team at “a vibrant space in the heart of the community that will be celebrating its 50th anniversary next year”.

The gallery, which was established in 1976, is based in a medieval deconsecrated church. It acts as a hub for artists, craftspeople and designers in the Chichester area.
