- Reinvented over 550 meanwhile spaces nationally, creating thriving creative hubs within cities and towns.
- Created 80 permanent studio spaces for artists which are affordable and low cost for artists of all backgrounds and economic status.
- Developed a unique Art Hostel on the edge of Leeds city centre, commissioning artists to reinvent each room as an experiential stay.
- Worked with artists to deliver 1000s of hours of arts learning with communities through programmes for adults and young people.
