OnTheWight sits down with Phil Gibby, Director of Arts Council England South West Area at the launch of Department, Ryde.
We cover a range of issues, but highlights include the Arts Council’s role in facilitating conversations and supporting artists; the tenacity of local artists, particularly Shademakers, for their entrepreneurial spirit and problem-solving skills; the importance of sharing best practices from successful projects, like the one in Ryde, to inspire and guide future cultural capital projects.
