Heart of Glass / A Modest Proposal


and co-production, working with new communities of place and interest, incorporating a wider range of art forms and sourcing new outlets and venues. TakeOver as a philosophy also presents us with the opportunity to build upon the expertise of our Steering Group partners, allowing for moments of professional and organisational development along the way, strengthening and galvanising the sector and shaping a more sustainable and ambitious arts ‘ecology’.


Building on the success of our work to date, we will extend delivery and build upon this conceptual framework creating partnership driven seasons throughout the year.

RESIDENCIES: TIME AND SPACE, SPACE AND TIME…


Heart of Glass is founded on supporting artists and communities to make ambitious new work, and on initiating interesting and exciting collaborations to realise and develop that work in diverse social contexts and settings. Collaborations for TakeOverFest and within our Prototype programme have delivered projects of diverse scope, scale, medium and form right across the borough, from work with the armed forces, collaborations with young people, partnerships with The Alzheimer’s Society or targeted approaches to particular geographic locations.


Building on these and many more successful collaborations, we will support a number of longer-term artistic residencies in St Helens, creating deeper and richer conversations between artists and communities, developing trusted relationships, and establishing a powerful platform through which to embed the arts and arts-led commissioning into the borough’s strategic decision-making processes. We envisage resident artists will develop long-term relationships with relevant communities in undertaking deep exploration of their nominated theme, which might include for example young carers, veterans, communities with an interest in dementia, friends of the canal network or former factory workers, and that their work will contribute to strengthening relationships with strategic bodies and stakeholders such as the local Clinical Commissioning Group and Public Health England.


As the borough approaches its 150-year anniversary in 2018, founded as it was on an international reputation and a resulting wave of inward migration, we are interested in positioning art as the catalyst for a second wave of international focus and potential migration. We aim to work with other economic communities across the world that have experienced similar rapid industrialisation and de-industrialisation (such as communities in Ireland and Germany, Eastern Europe and Taiwan) as partners in supporting domestic residencies and exchange.
