About Us

Local is co-founders Claire Tymon and Steven Dexter and Creative Producer Charlie Collins. Together we’ve got almost 40 years’ experience delivering ambitious place-based projects, art commissions and cultural programming all around the world. In other words, we’re a safe pair of hands.

LOCAL is a creative placemaking consultancy and arts organisation. We engage people with the potential of place through a mixture of art, research and creative action. And empower local communities to make positive change right on their doorsteps.  We look out as well as in, to celebrate what's great about a place and to bring in fresh thinking. Together, we shape places that are more relevant, more connected and more sustainable for the future. LOCAL is a creative placemaking consultancy and arts organisation.
