Minoti Parikh (she/her) is the Founder of TPL Experiences and is a community artist.
I have over 17 years of experience of leading value-driven strategic support and training programmes focusing on improving the wellbeing, resilience, engagement, and culture of organisations in the UK. Through my award-winning consultancy, TPL Experiences, I have supported over 100 organisations in more than 25 countries to build inclusive and sustainable teams and cultures. Along with this, my community-based arts practice leads on community projects that help to improve the wellbeing of those who represent marginalised and deprived backgrounds in and around Leeds.
Having my own artistic practice and working with communities in Leeds, along with my consultancy work within the arts and culture sector, has inspired me to think about how else I can support communities and other artists to thrive and build stronger communities. I am very proud of the work East Street Arts delivers to support artists and build more sustainable communities. I am very proud of being a Trustee of East Street Arts and I am extremely excited about our future as an organisation. We have a fantastic team and a clear vision of what our purpose is and we are committed to staying true to ourselves. It is all these genuine intentions coupled with a strong team that makes it a joy to be on the Board of this organisation.
