The Featured Artists Coalition (FAC), the UK artist trade body and not-for-profit organisation, serving a diverse, global membership of creators at all stages of their careers, is expanding and announces a range of new membership benefits.

The FAC is formed by artists, for artists, and we place this ethos at the centre of all we do. In addition to having a creative board of directors, including founding member Nick Mason (Pink Floyd), Ed O'Brien (Radiohead), Imogen Heap, David Rowntree (Blur), Katie Melua and two recently announced observers Kelli-Leigh and Aluna, as well as a diverse group of advocates, including Nadine Shah and Terri Walker, the FAC recently announced 52 ambassadors, adding the likes of Skin (Skunk Anansie), Ghostpoet, Adam Devonshire (IDLES) and Anna Calvi to the community, supported by Paloma Faith and Johnny Marr. We're coming together to provide a strong, collective voice within the industry not only for established but emerging artists. Our BEAT (Breakthrough & Emerging Artists Together) board is a group of inspirational younger artists, including new additions Rich Legate and Rosie Bans, who feed into the main board so as to ensure that the organisation represents younger, independent and up and coming artists and the challenges they face.
