"Art lets you be brave, do things
differently, do things that are strange, do things that are not
conventional and do conventional things in a different
way."
Robert Merrett

had to say on the Channel 4 Big Art Project, for which Egremont was

Creative Egremont is our working title for a new 12 month public & community arts project in Egremont, West Cumbria, England.
It's been initiated by West Lakes Renaissance & Egremont and Area Regeneraton Partnership, who invited Grizedale Arts (based in the South Lakes) to provide a strategy for engaging the local community in arts activity that could reach places most public art never could. Grizedale agreed that rather than another paper consultancy, a programme of actual projects on the ground would make the most difference to the town - so that's what we're doing!
Here's our team (pictured):
From left to right, Karen Guthrie (Project Director); Karen Storr (Coordinator) and Alistair Hudson (Grizedale Arts Deputy Director & Lead Project Officer)
So - watch this space for more, and if you have any questions about what we're up to then please contact us on info@creative-egremont.org
Thanks to Regeneration Officer Simon Walker for the photo
