Camden Art Centre director Martin Clark to step down and lead Towner Eastbourne
The museum director will move from London to the East Sussex institution ahead of the development of its new outpost in the South Downs National Park
Martin Clark, the director of the Camden Art Centre in London, is set to step down from his position and take on the role of director and chief executive at Towner Eastbourne gallery. Clark will assume his new role in January 2027, replacing Joe Hill, who recently moved on to lead the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Towner Eastbourne, established in 1923, boasts an impressive collection featuring the largest body of work by Eric Ravilious and pieces by artists such as John Akomfrah, Lawrence Abu Hamdan, and Tacita Dean.
The gallery achieved a joint win of Art Fund Museum of the Year in 2020 and hosted the Turner Prize in 2023.
