The Cultuurfabriek Noordkade Meierijstad Foundation is the umbrella organization for the four independent foundations Phoenix Cultuur, Cultuur Haven Veghel, De Compagnie and Blauwe Kei, Theater aan de Noordkade. The board of Stichting Cultuurfabriek is seeking a new (unpaid) board member, effective June 2026, who has the time and energy to join the board of these wonderful cultural and arts organizations.
Due to the expiration of the statutory terms of office, Chairman Paul Koeslag will step down as a board member. The role of chair will be filled from within the board. This creates a vacancy for a board member. Given the other profiles of the board members, we are seeking a board member with legal expertise and strategic insight into organizational issues. A relevant network in the region would be a plus. Board experience and an affinity for art and culture are, of course, important requirements.
The board adheres to the Cultural Governance Code and is committed to making room for board members from diverse backgrounds.
The board meets 6 to 8 times a year, and individual board members may be asked to take action on specific issues. This could include consultation with various key stakeholders, such as the municipality of Meierijstad and partners on the Noordkade. Attendance at events such as openings, festivals, and staff meetings is appreciated. This enhances the board member’s understanding and serves as an important barometer for gauging the culture of the various organizations.
The management of the Cultuurfabriek Foundation consists of an equal three-member executive team, comprising the directors of Phoenix Cultuur (Barbara Brouwer), Cultuur Haven Veghel (Steven Hans), and Blauwe Kei, Theater aan de Noordkade (Igor van Hooff), along with the business manager of De Compagnie (Corry Kocken). They are primarily responsible for their own organizations. Together, they are responsible for the success of Stichting Cultuurfabriek as a whole.

Please email your resume and cover letter to sanja@cultuurfabrieknoordkade.nl by April 6 .
Appointment dates are set by mutual agreement.
