Karen Watson
Leeds
I am a co-founder and along with Jon one of two Artistic Director’s at East Street Arts.
I work across most things in the company and I am specifically passionate about finding ways for artists and audiences/participants to work together to create work that impacts both.
I am interested in why we do what we do and this manifests itself through our business development, the projects we do, and connecting to research including supporting collaborative PhD’s.
I spend a lot of time on our allotment and garden and with our many houseplants, I collect plastic and metal crap that I find on the streets (which I will do something with at some point), I read loads about art, history and fairy tales, and when we are not in lockdown I love travelling and visiting cities especially those that have played a specific role in history.
I am a Leeds United fan.
