Cullen
Venue Support Manager
Music Venue Trust
“As Venue Support Manager at Music Venue Trust Clara Cullen manages the Emergency Response Service supporting Grassroots Music Venues in crisis. In addition to this she oversees MVT’s advocacy work and the development of its training initiatives. Clara is a regular speaker at music conferences, universities and for national press interviews. Prior to becoming a full-time member of team Music Venue Trust, Clara spent time working for Festival Republic supporting the arts programming at festivals such as Latitude and Reading & Leeds and as a promoter’s representative in Grassroots Music Venues around London.
Her journey into the music industry started after discovering Banquet Records and her local Grassroots Music Venue The Peel. Watching bands play in venues like The Peel, which closed permanently in 2014, sparked an intense interest in protecting venues so that communities do not lose access to these vital cultural spaces.”
