DEVeloping a 'sense of place'

How we work with the community

Consulting with the residents and local community is an essential part of our artwork process and help inform the outcomes of the art we produce.

Historical Research

We're artists and designers with qualifications in Historical Arts Research. Our in-depth research into local areas and their histories gives artwork context helps develop 'sense of place'.

Interviews and Surveys

Engaging residents in interviews and surveys gives an opportunity for community members to have an input and helps us discover a richer history of the community we're working in.

Public Presentations

We deliver presentations to residents outlining our concepts for public art and listen carefully to their feedback, allowing communities to have their say and helps drive artwork concepts forward.

Community Involvement

We work with local schools to give the younger generation a chance to have creative input into the artwork. We also prefer to work with local suppliers and manufacturers where possible.

Online surveys

Conversational and engaging online surveys, accessible on any device, and designed to gather public opinion and feedback.

Social Media outreach

Targeted social media outreach campaigns to promote consultation websites and drive traffic to our online surveys.

How we can help housing development companies with community engagement

Online Surveys

We can use online surveys to ask questions, seek feedback and analyse the data, allowing local residents to quickly and easily share their thoughts and opinions.

Social Outreach

Websites
