About
Sarah has an honours degree in Art and Sociology from University of Liverpool. She went on to work in the arts and culture sector in the North West for clients including afoundation (founders of Liverpool Biennial), Tate Liverpool and a varied mix of cultural festivals and projects. On returning to the Midlands, Sarah continued her freelance arts career, blending multiple artforms at a range of scales, and engaging with local, national and international artists and partner organisations.
