The Forest of Deans' Arts Showcase Festivals "Art Attack!" in partnership with The British Heart Foundation, were organised by Sue attracting around 6,000 visitors. Sue has many years experience of exhibiting, marketing, promoting creative peoples' work. and organising events. She gives supportive workshops now and again to artists and creatives on exhibiting, marketing, press and promotion. Her background as a successful art director in the Music Business, work in t.v., media, advertising, marketing & lecturing qualifies her to spearhead promotion of Creative People.Capable of organising conferences, events, exhibitions, fairs and festivals from client brief, planning, risk assessments, budgeting, through to press & publicity. Sue curated The Gallery at the Dean Heritage Museum, Forest of Dean for 5 years, showing over 120 diverse artists and launching the "Roll of Honour" project for the Forest of Dean History Society. She was commissioned by The Countryside Agency & Forestry Commission to manage The Dean Oak Travelling Exhibitions - ("Better Uses for Dean hardwoods)" She launched the project, transported 37 makers furniture & other works to five different locations and evaluated post-project. Owing to the success of this project the Dean Oak Co-operative was formed by a sawmill locally.
One of her more adventurous events was "Passage 2000" a Millennium event that united 2 communities (Newnham & Arlingham) aside the River Severn over a weekend of festivity and celebration. Notwithstanding the dangerous Severn Bore - the Royal Marines Assault Squadron Hovercrafts were persuaded to become the "ferries" across this ancient Passage. With National Media focus thousands of visitors enjoyed a memorable community Festival. With money raised by the Community at the Event, a Millennium Marker for Newnham on Severn - a steel sculptural Telescope stands today on the Riverbank as a permanent "link" between the two communities. It was designed by blacksmith Steve Bluett. (see his page). Sue is happy to discuss your ideas and guide you to a positive solution.
