Deane Associates have been working for several years with the Goodwin Development Trust in Hull, helping to develop their own innovative arts programme Estate of the Nation which uses ambitious arts and cultural programming to improve the quality of life of people in some of Hull’s most disadvantaged communities.
Project funding has been secured from many sources including Arts Council England, Esmeé Fairbairn Foundation, Power to Change, Garfield Weston Foundation and Biffa, resulting in refurbishment of a derelict church as a unique arts venue, creation of a new community garden, and many successful community based artists’ residencies and commissions.
