These are a mixture of my favourite and recent larger projects and initiatives I’ve been involved with over the years

Beyond2023
April 2023 I facilitated the emergence of two Place Lab pilots within County Durham, exploring how they will be instrumental in adding to the rich diverse creative landscape of the county. With recently secured further funding, 2024 will build upon this learning catalysing the creation of more creative opportunities, connections and educational & professional development across the county.

Most fabulous things begin with a great idea. D25 Culture County was the start of that idea.
2023 saw many of the creative connections established during the bidding process come together for Congregate fest.
Made possible with the funding from Department of Culture Media and Sport allocated to the runners up of the City of Culture bid. It was great to be part of the journey and process as delivering the connection element as creative producer.
