Kate succeeds our outgoing Chair Tom Fleming, who’s leadership throughout the past eight years, has helped shape the gallery’s vision and growth, and has guided the organisation through a significant period of re-development, including the expansion of the gallery space in 2018.
“It has been such an honour to be the Chair of Site Gallery. It’s a special organisation in a great city. I want to thank the staff, volunteers and Board for all their incredible work in ensuring Site plays a central and innovative role in Sheffield’s cultural life. I am also thrilled to welcome Kate Brindley as new Chair of Site Gallery. These are exciting times for the organisation and the city”.

She has made a great impact in South Yorkshire through her strategic consultancy with SYMCA and Sheffield City Council and I am so pleased that she will continue her commitment to Sheffield as Chair of Site Gallery.”
