These risks are particularly challenging for organizations beyond the early startup phase that garner excitement and novelty. There are limited opportunities to build sustainable infrastructure and sources of long-term funding as organizations grow. Many arts organizations struggle to find long-term financial sustainability.

Over the course of the project, creative approaches centred on art-based and design-led practices are employed to research people’s experiences. The ‘Sensing Spaces of Healthcare: Rethinking the NHS Hospital’ project involves working with National Health Service (NHS) staff, patients and visitors to explore their experiences of hospital environments.
