Classical & electronic music meet thru the work of Aurora Orchestra. Performing at a former printing factory Printworks London, Aurora collab’d with #NwandoEbizie to integrate #Beethoven 5th with a new work Amor Fati. This is the type of innovation Arts Council England is proud to fund.

I am so excited to be taking on this new role at Arts Council England — I have always been inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit and ambition for innovation in the arts and culture sector. Can’t wait to get stuck in.

It was a pleasure to be part of the launch of Ealing Council Cultural Manifesto as a Arts Council England, London representative and as a borough resident! Despite the pouring rain the community came out to show how much arts and culture mean to them.


5 min listen: Building a better brain through music, dance and poetry npr.org/sections/healt… - so proud Arts Council England, London has invested in new NPOs such as HighRise Cartel @WeAreZooCo Fresh Arts Newham Music which will help young people have a future where they can master any subject!


Well done to Arts Council England funded orgs Marge Inalia and The RSC along with the other ‘Royal Collaborators’ on their performance set to West Side Story’s Somewhere at the #Coronation concert tonight.

Glad to see ~ £1M annual NPO investment leveraged to expand Roundhouse trailblazing work w/ young people. This (along with new NPOs like Fresh Arts & @WeAreZooCo) is how Arts Council England, London helps young people thrive! theguardian.com/society/2023/m…




Great day at Garden Museum celebrating #BritishFlowersWeek alongside Her Majesty The Queen. Saw 5 immersive floral installations & exciting plans for new green space. Pleased to have the museum as a new NPO in the London portfolio Arts Council England Arts Council England, London

I was reminded of this moment I captured at Guggenheim Bilbao a couple years ago. A fitting tribute to #RichardSerra who passed away last week. His sculptures created inspiring spaces that made you want to dance!
