FEASiBILITY

We have a robust and well developed methodology for consulting and developing events and festival strategies that build on existing strengths of Place whilst identifying opportunities for sustainable, equitable growth and skills development that roots talent and returns on investment for the places where we work. Our work always delivers on a triple bottom-line of economy, environment and social impacts and we are dedicated to creating an ethical, accessible cultural sector.

PROGRAMME AND COMMISSION

We develop programmes from scratch or deliver on existing works in progress. We identify, approach, negotiate and contract artists. We develop a comprehensive plan responding to the complexity of each brief and ensure all stakeholders know how the project is developing. Throughout we know how to manage artists to ensure successful delivery.

CROSS-ARTS DEVELOPMENT

We support local artists breaking into international art-worlds and know how to effectively host international artists. We manage and market major projects across international borders with numerous partners and are experienced commissioning and presenting new music and visual art across Europe and beyond. We work with artists to build relationships with other creative collaborators, funders, collectors, production support - building careers and profile internationally.

PRODUCTION AND DELIVERY

We have in-depth knowledge of curating, event delivery and technical production so we can handle every aspect of event, exhibition, workshop or festival activity. From the original design, to the briefing and contracting of technical suppliers we can deliver lighting, sound, visual media, technical crew, service suppliers and infrastructure staffing. We ensure compliance with all aspects of health and safety working closely with stakeholders so no aspect of a production comes as a surprise.

STATEGY AND FINANCE

We are experienced strategic developers of creative projects. We know how to shape a creative strategy with growth and legacy built in from the outset. We work with public and private sector sponsors to ensure visibility within business communities and we know how to deliver on our promises. Working to deliver sustainable project and events strategy, develop audiences, funders, sponsors and brand. Curated Place always looks beyond the single delivery to longevity.

MARKETING & COMMUNICATION

We always document our work and avoid the perils of digital landfill by telling engaging stories supported by hi-quality content. We can handle all strategic communications for events, projects & festivals. We develop brand and online presence through to full on-the-ground media campaigns.

OUTREACH AND EDUCATION

We develop outreach that fits the audiences and planned participants of programmes and events. Our teams are experienced with all age groups and across all demographics. We always aim to create meaningful engagement and buy-in not just show and tell. We have delivered effective outreach at home and abroad in Suid-Holland, Egypt, England, Scotland and Iceland.

INCLUSIVE ARTS

Using the arts to empower, motivate and inspire - we are inclusive in our approach. We collaborate with a range of artists to create the right workshop, event or community fun day for your community needs.  We deliver professional, accessible and high quality engagement that pushes far beyond your standard community programme. From new music to photography training, photoshop masterclasses to hands-on craft, mass participation to the internet of things - we know how to create meaningful, memorable experiences and deliver them with finesse.

TRAINING

We specialise in production training and can provide tailored solutions for your local authority, state body, festival, arts organisation or events company that draws from our knowledge of existing festivals and the cultural economy at regional and international level.
