“Diversity of thought and imagination makes us more culturally resilient, more able to thrive in times of great change. We live in a time of enormous and rapid change, a time that needs the wild thinking and making of artists.”

Andrew Simmot – ‘Making your life as an Artist’ 

“We are all capable of extraordinary power. Each and every ordinary one of us. As a team of ordinaries we are capable of profound impact.” 

Alan Lane – ‘The Club on the Edge of Town: A Pandemic Memoir’

“Making art demands a faith beyond each particular project. We don’t know exactly how the cultural DNA we are preserving and recombining might be useful in the future. But we do know that diverse ecosystems are more resilient, more able to respond to disturbance. The same is true of culture.”
