It left The Substation without an Artistic Director for 9 months. Rarely has one seen an arts organisation left without direction for so long, to the point where artists become very concerned about its fate. Does the board really still care about The Substation?

It is currently like a black box - many artists who have worked with The Substation sometimes don't even know who it is on its board.

Note: the content in this page is not mine own only but has been compiled from recent discussions with a number of other artists/art workers and also from other shared google docs.
I felt it was difficult to grasp the enormity of it all so I decided it would be beneficial to divide it into questions on different levels:
| Executive | Operations | Curatorial |
The Board

Proposed by Alan: to divide the year into two separate seasons - open season and sub season
