Our Staff

I am a co-founder and along with Jon one of two Artistic Director’s at East Street Arts.

As one of the founders of East Street Arts in 1993, I have probably done every job there is to do in the organisation.

My role is to engage communities with artists, art and heritage, on all levels - local and international, virtual, and real.

As a Communicator at East Street Arts, I develop fun, challenging, and personality-driven content.

I lead on all things Space and Place at East Street Arts, that includes our national Space for Artists workspace programme and our placemaking consultancy and advocacy work.

I take care of how we host artists and other guests at public events and across the whole organisation,

Working within the Spaces Team I help to look after our permanent spaces in Leeds alongside our national portfolio of temporary spaces.

I arrived here in February 2020 to join East Street as the Artist Support Lead. This role includes working strategically to maintain oversight of our artist support offer across the organisation with a specific focus on our Sector Support Organisation program ‘Guild’. 

As the General Manager, I work closely with the Spaces and Finance teams, ensuring the operations are ticking along behind the scenes.

My responsibilities involve building maintenance, DIY and art installation.
