We’re a small, friendly and dynamic team with highly specialised knowledge and decades of experience ranging from the commercial gallery sector to large-scale infrastructure projects.
We’re approachable, resourceful, imaginative, detail focussed and collaborative. We understand the immediate and long-term value of culture in shaping and animating equitable urban spaces and within design teams and across project specialisms to curate and produce art commissions and creative programmes of the highest quality. We undertake rigorous research and work with community to provide context specific public art and cultural strategies with a focus on the creative economy and innovative, inclusive and sustainable growth. Our diverse range of clients and collaborators include local authorities, major landowners, developers, business improvement districts, universities and healthcare providers, architects and community, cultural and third sector organisations. We recognise that no two projects are ever the same and work with our clients to deliver projects and programmes that are as unique as their commissioners.
