Consultancy
We are an organisation led by artists and curators with an extensive network of art industry professionals, with years of curatorial expertise.
After 3 years of working across the country in towns and cities, we have a unique insight into grassroots culture, what spaces and locations best suit artists and creatives, and are able to create cultural strategies for projects of any scale.
To date we have offered consultancy to Architects, Urban Planners and Designers, Developers and Councils. We have also spoken on numerous panels across the property sector and the arts – get in touch for more information: [email protected]
