We are saddened to hear of the passing of Prudence Skene, an incredible champion of the arts.
Prudence, known fondly as Prue, was the Director of the Arts Foundation from its early formation in 1993 until 1998. Her achievements were formidable. Our past trustees have shared that she cloaked her achievements with being one of the most intelligent, humble and gentle people you could ever want to meet and that she was undoubtedly the person who set the course of the shape of what the foundation has become today.
An obituary and details of her enduring legacy, written by Jane Pritchard, can be read in The Guardian. We send our sincere condolences to her friends and family and remember her fondly on this bright Spring day.
