Ruskin Star Chamber
Over summer 2010 the Ruskin Star Chamber (Board of Alumni) was formed. This includes 7 of our most distinguished alumni and 3 staff members:
Angela Palmer - Chair (Artist)
Tom Uglow - Vice-Chair (Creative Lead, EMEA Google/YouTube)
Karly Allen (Education Manager, Royal Collection)
Dan Fox (Senior Editor, Frieze Magazine)
Simon Preston (Director, Simon Preston Gallery, New York)
Conrad Shawcross (Artist)
Michael Stanley (Director, Modern Art Oxford)
Dr Jason Gaiger (Head of Ruskin School)
Dr Jane Garnett (Chair, Ruskin School Committee)
Sarah Wilkinson - Secretary (Projects and Alumni Relations Co-ordinator / Librarian, Ruskin School)
The role of this core group is to increase re-engagement of former students and staff with the Ruskin through the Alumni Programme of exhibitions, talks and events. It is hoped that they and the Alumni Programme will also help to attract a new audience of supporters to help fundraise for the future of the department, including our imminent relocation, the endowment of the Ruskin Mastership and increasing numbers of studentships.
