Beam is a charity specialising in the arts, it works with artists, developers, local authorities and communities to create art installations, creative public spaces and environments.
The organisation has gone through radical changes over the last 18 months, with a new management team and a new direction - previously it had focused on its own venue, the Orangery, and developing a range of related events. The withdrawal of Arts Council funding had necessitated Beam to move out of it’s base and get back to its core values: Public art commissioning:
- Project, event and festival management
- Socially engaged and participatory arts projects with communities
- Cultural partnership development and knowledge exchange events – Public art scoping
- Strategy development
- Arts fundraising and bid writing.
