Let's change the arts

Josh Ward

Trustee, Unexpected Leader 2018 - 2020

Josh Ward has been associated with Diverse City now since 2016 when he first joined Extraordinary Bodies Young Artists. This led to further training with Graeae Theatre Company and The National Youth Theatre, as well finding success onscreen in Hidden Pictures North‘s short film A Snapshot, in which he played the lead role of Ian.

Josh became been a Diverse City Trustee in 2023 as part of our commitment to hear more from young voices in our leadership.

I am really gaining a sense of pride in my role making changes for the better. It would be great to see more young trustees in arts organisations and this is something I would actively encourage to anyone thinking about it. – Josh Ward, 2024
