SPECIALIST ARTS CONSULTANT
PASSION
Sarah's unique ability is to inspire and engage people in the Arts. As a Curator and Project Manger she is able to develop creative concepts, plan and deliver successful inspiring events and exhibitions, often involving large numbers of creative people to diverse audiences. Her 20 years experience of working in the arts is particularly valuable as it crosses over and brings together, to mutual benefit, the worlds of Arts and Business. She set up an Art Dept. for Targetfollow, a large commercial property development company, and over the course of 7 years: developed exhibition spaces across the UK, sourced artwork for their large private collection, set up artists studios in Norwich and Dover, created a commercial website, ran an annual arts festival in as part of the Norwich Fringe Festival over 4 years and developed plans for a new gallery and art in the public realm in Central London, Norwich and Stockport.
Alongside her interest and natural ability to work within the context of Arts and Business Sarah also has a passion and belief in community projects. From being on the board of the Norwich Arts Centre 2006 – 2010 to organising small scale music and arts festivals, courses and events in her local area in South Norfolk.
Above all, Sarah strives to develop innovative Arts Projects which inspire their audience and develop participants in their practise.
