"We know that the arts play a crucial role not just in shaping the nature and identities of where we live but in how well we live too."

We asked artists and creatives what they need to make high quality, engaging place based or site-specific work within their communities. Honesty, transparency and the development of trust are crucial.

Our Producing Place project has interrogated the practice of creating place and site specific work. We interviewed a range of artists, which threw up all kinds of interesting thoughts and questions, including the importance of finding inspiration within the location itself.

Working in a non-traditional space can be a great way to find inspiration for a creative or theatre project, especially when you bring in audience groups to work on co-creation.

We really enjoyed working with artist @eerieerin to create these fantastic illustrations that capture some of the research we did for our Producing Place project or space and place based creative work!

We received funding from @ace_national to develop Producing Place: our artistic strategy for work in place, space & site-specific contexts. This allowed us to test a new framework for supporting & collaborating with artists & communities.
