Building Dreams
Building Dreams was an ambitious pilot project to mark the 150th anniversary of Cragside, Northumberland.
Description
I led the commissioning process to present new artistic work in response to the scale of development undertaken by the original owners of Cragside, Lord and Lady Armstrong. Cragside provides a rich asset for artists to interpret historical stories for audiences and this exhibition showcased four regional artists.

Alongside this, inspired by the Himalayan landscape design, we ran a family programme to design a Dream Flag and add it to the outdoor collection on site. Matt Baker paid a visit to launch this programme for us and drew his own Dream Flag.
