BESPOKE PROJECTS

We work with artists, institutions, and communities internationally creating excellent, impact-driven, and pioneering co-created works of community art. Positively changing people's lives, the places where they live, the communities in which they are and the institutions that are theirs.

We are always interested in working with new people and places. Let’s create something together!
