We are delighted at the selection of our Trustee Joyce Fraser as an artist-in-residence, in Westminster’s Voids Activation & Pop-up Project. It is an important step on our journey. Allocated the prestigious building 12 Waterloo Place, the installation is named Black Heroes @ The Gallery.

Opportunity to Engage

We used this opportunity to provide a place to engage with a wider audience, test out new ideas and gather new materials for consideration in new productions.
