Museums and Institutions

Are you looking for a curated art exhibition to tie in with your up and coming blockbuster?

Do you want to run a crafting competition to tie in with your exhibits?

Would you like a artist, crafter or puppet maker in residence responding to your collection while on display for the public to watch the creation unfold?

Do you want to have art, crafting, book making, puppet making, drama or any other kinds of workshops run by a qualified artist and teacher in your museum?

I can do all this and more. I can connect museums and other institutions with a large community of photographers, crafters, painters, sculptors and other artists and interested people who respond to their world around them in their chosen artistic fields.
