Working with artists
Support is essential to the cultivation of creativity. Kara nurtures artists to develop an authentic voice and approach.
At the heart of each collaboration and engagement are her guiding principles of open dialogue, shared responsibility, respect and care. This begins with a shared assessment of the artist’s producing and advisory needs.
As an advocate and producer, Kara aims to share knowledge and develop long-term collaborations. This helps artists to develop their trajectory, creating meaningful partnerships and networks along the way.
"We can't praise Kara highly enough in terms of her clarity as a producer, her sector knowledge, and vitally her
passion for our work. We have been deeply impressed by Kara's ability to be across everything from the artist's perspective right through to the presenter's view point. This enabled us to plan our project from the ground up and to troubleshoot issues before they even arose in a very complex work involving as many as 70 artists. "
