2020: Year in Review

2020 has certainly been a year to remember. A challenging time for people all over the world, and particularly for the creative industries and we do not underestimate the terrible toll it has taken on lives and livelihoods across the UK. However, from closures and cancellations, new ideas and formats emerged. We have seen the most incredible adaptability and versatility across the creative sector. Artists and cultural communities have rallied together and made some amazing things happen, from online festivals and exhibitions, to campaigns like #artistsupportpledge and #portraitsfornhsheroes, the resilience has been amazing. So as we approach the end of this unforgettable year, we thought we’d share a round up of our 2020 projects and news.
