Dimbleby to step down from Towner Eastbourne

DAVID DIMBLEBY is stepping down as chairman of Towner Eastbourne in September.

The broadcaster and journalist has chaired the art gallery for more than a decade.

To mark the occasion, Dimbleby is co-curating an exhibition at the gallery with his daughter, artist LIZA DIMBLEBY, which will focus on drawing.

Director and Chief Executive of Towner Eastbourne, JOE HILL said: “I’d like to take this opportunity to thank David for his dedication and work on our behalf. What could be a more fitting end to his journey with us than to ask him to curate an exhibition with his daughter.”
