With an initially BARE gallery, our @ace_national funded show 'Stand Together' saw artist @kevmunday gradually cover our gallery walls with work by the public & artist. The stories of what and who people chose to ā€˜Stand Together’ for were deeply moving bit.ly/3JhIwfK

How wonderful that our joyful project from 2015 sparked this wonderful response! We were so hopeful that policy makers and local leaders would take it up.’Benches are an open gesture of welcome,an invitation to linger’ @clarerishbeth @rogaly JasberSingh @CoventryCAWR @DianaComan
Our 2020 project 'BENCH' infused a seemingly unimportant object with new significance, re-establishing the bench as an object that contributes to the rhythm of a city. Inspired by 'Manifesto for the Good Bench' by @radhikabynon & @clarerishbeth bit.ly/3LLWRAj
