Tate to Seek Trustee for a New Generation while Launching £5 Exhibition Tickets
for 16-25 Year Olds

17 April 2018: Tate, with agreement from the British government, will seek to appoint its first Trustee dedicated to bringing the views of the next generation to the highest level of its decision-making process.

Tate is also launching £5 exhibition tickets for 16 to 25 year olds as part of a new scheme called Tate Collective. This free-to-join membership scheme is open to people from anywhere in the world, who will be able—along with up to three friends—to see any Tate exhibition for £5 while also enjoying discounts in Tate's cafes and shops.

These initiatives respond directly to Tate's recent programmes and consultation with this age group, who have asked for access to more affordable activities which they can enjoy with their friends in the face of the increased cost of living and higher education.

Maria Balshaw, Director of Tate said: 'We are acting on what 16 to 25 year olds say they want so that we can make the changes needed for future generations. Our sector should be shaped by their creative energy and their message to us is clear: arts institutions should plan 'with' not 'for' them.'
