AFC Telford United, Telford [2007 – 2008]

Research and engagement for a public art Strategy. Partnering public art consultant Emma Larkinson.

Aims of the strategy involve creating links to current community groups, maintaining and developing the ethos of the club as a hub of community activity and creating the possibilities for ongoing artist involvement. A 'Field of Dreams' project, highlighting the aspirations of local people, endeavours to begin to activate the site through a temporary projection work and develop principles for employing tactics at the club.
