The Henry Moore Foundation was established to encourage the wider appreciation of sculpture, and in particular the work of Henry Moore; one of the worlds most renowned sculptors. The Foundation aims to engage, inspire and inform people of all ages and backgrounds; whether they have an interest in the arts, are studying sculpture as an academic discipline, or enjoying a day out. We continue to extend our reach to worldwide audiences through our international touring programmes, our Grants programme and our growing online presence.

The Board of the Henry Moore Foundation are now seeking candidates for the Chair role, which plays a pivotal role in guiding our strategic direction and fostering effective governance.
