Monique has over 16 years’ experience in the arts sector with previous leadership roles at Akademi, Rich Mix, Stratford Circus Arts Centre, Culture Central and Dance Hub Birmingham.
Monique says:
“I am delighted to be joining artsdepot as CEO at this exciting time in its future. I look forward to building on the fantastic programme, participation and venue offer for all Barnet residents that Tracy and the team have been delivering and I can’t wait to meet our Barnet partners to start work.
“I will miss everyone at Jacksons Lane and have been so proud to be part of what we’ve accomplished during the pandemic and in the past years.”
Monique is succeeded at Jacksons Lane by Hannah Cox.
Hannah Cox is an experienced participatory arts producer and programmer, most recently working as the Young People’s Programme Manager at National Theatre and previously led the schools programme at Southbank Centre. Hannah has worked extensively as a freelance creative facilitator and producer, as well as founding the award-winning event business Crafternoon Cabaret Club. She is a cohort of Clore Leadership Pulse 2020.
Hannah Cox says:
“I am thrilled to be joining Jacksons Lane as Executive Director and Joint CEO at this exciting time for the organisation. I have been inspired by Jacksons Lane’s deep commitment to its communities: local and artistic, and as a Haringey resident I’m delighted to be able to bring my skills and experience to further this important and impactful work across the borough and beyond.”
We’re sure you will all join us in welcoming Hannah to Jacksons Lane.
