Get in touch

I work across the whole arts and culture sector. The audiences and settings below are the ones I have built relationships in for decades. Each one has its own page with examples of the kind of work we could do together.

One consultant, every setting

Theatres, schools, communities, families, galleries, museums, heritage sites. The work changes shape depending on the setting, but the principles are the same.

Open-minded about who will love what. Honest with audiences, honest with clients. Diverse in the widest sense, race, age, ability, family makeup, geography and life experience.

What clients say

Working with Elaine has been incredibly rewarding for our project. As a predominantly white organisation, we called upon Elaine’s lived experience and expertise to recruit African Caribbean participants for Focus Groups this year, and I don’t think we would have been able to run those consultations to time, or as successfully, without her support. Elaine went above and beyond from the get-go, even travelling to Harewood to visit and meet with some of the participants, which I think had a positive contribution to their experience. Plus, she’s a lovely person to be around and work with! Elaine’s dedication and communication throughout is testament to how invested she is in diversifying cultural audiences in a genuine and authentic way, and I’m really looking forward to continuing to work with her and draw upon her expertise for this important work. Don’t hesitate to work with Elaine!
