We’re excited to introduce some new faces across our regions.
Hannah Rose is the new Regional Director of VisualArts South West, hosted by Spike Island, and Lucy Badrocke is the new Associate Director.
They work strategically across the South West to respond to the needs of artists, arts workers and organisations, aiming to strengthen the region as an exciting and rich place for culture. They do this by offering opportunities that support practitioners to build their careers with access to ambitious, supportive and productive networks that span rural and urban contexts. They also advocate for the work of underrepresented practitioners.
Colette Griffin is the new Director of New Art West Midlands (NAWM), hosted by DASH. Colette works across the East and West Midlands identifying, creating and supporting opportunities for vital cross-regional programming, connectivity and resource sharing, while also ensuring that both these regional networks maintain their distinct identities, and respond to the ambitions and challenges that are unique to each of them.
