Projects

Working with a huge spectrum of places, people and artists means we get to dream up some beautifully ambitious projects.

All of the projects we produce are for the long term. We invested in making change happen and introducing new ideas and ways of being.

Here you can find information on programmes you might want to read about, come to or take part in. Whether that’s learning a new skill, our work in neighbourhoods, projects we’re dreaming up with artists or new pieces of public art that might be being made where you live and work.

We work in lots of different ways with artists, partners and people. This page is going to grow considerably over the next year as we re-imagine some of the projects we had in the pipeline with them for 2020. In the meantime, we hope you can find what you need about the projects that are ongoing and ways in which you can be part of them.
