Tom Dykes

Tom Dykes has been Director of Digital at Cultural Enterprises since April 2020, just after the UK’s first lockdown. As a consequence he’s yet to meet many of his colleagues in person. Some may say that’s their loss, others their gain.

He looks after the Association’s digital, comms, and membership strategy. Projects include the Academy, an Arts Council funded online learning platform, and helping the organisation move toward it’s ‘Year of Digital’. Prior to Cultural Enterprises he worked at the National Theatre in London.

Talk to Tom about history, London, ‘digital gardens’, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer – which if like him, you had to obsessively watch to get through lockdown.
