I’m really happy to be taking up the role at this time with so many exciting projects under development. Knowing Artichoke as well as I do, I’m ready to start work on reaching the ambitious fundraising targets as well as be a part of the senior leadership team.

We’re really sad to see Liz go, but certain that she’ll be a huge asset to Chichester Festival Theatre as she has been to Artichoke. Ma’ayan has been an incredible Deputy Director of Development over the past five years and we’re delighted that she’s agreed to step up to lead the fundraising team. Her unparalleled knowledge of the way Artichoke works, the shifting funding landscape, and her wider experience forged within the sector, all make her the perfect choice for this challenging job.
