The Culture Company

The Culture Company is an independent cultural agency. We research, commission, produce and manage new cultural projects, strategies and events. Each of our projects are tailor made responses to the times, events, places and spaces we all inhabit.

How we work: Pick and Mix

The Agency puts together a team of highly experienced professionals with backgrounds in a variety of cultural areas. From public art, museums and galleries, commissioning contemporary art for heritage situations, architecture, exhibition concepts and design, graphic and digital design, pr and marketing and fund-raising, we can make the right team for the situation.

Saying something different:

Working from this broad knowledge and passion for contemporary culture, we are committed to coming up with great, realisable ideas that will intrigue and delight you and your intended audience, users or customers. Our projects will get people talking, raise your profile, enhance your image and get you meeting and communicating with new people - or the same people in a different way.

‘Innovation is a contact sport that requires a rich mixing and mingling of people, information, ideas and collaborative processes’  Eric Von Hippel

Culture is changing rapidly, the boundaries between art, design, culture and media are closer together than ever before and new forms are emerging. Our vision is a society which sees no particular merit in the division between the serious world of `work` and the world of creative activity and experience. In a changing and challenging world we need new approaches to animate places, spaces and opportunities. All of us need to be refreshed and inspired; there are times when we all need more than the everyday. 

As well as working on commissions for clients, we are committed to researching and initiating our own projects. This enables us to work with creative practitioners whose work is particularly boundary pushing, forge new partnerships with organisations and potential collaborators, seek out interesting locations and develop new opportunities.

Who We Are

This is the home of The Culture Company…we like to call it our Lower Ground NYC Loft apartment. Obviously just as groovy as anything New York can muster and yet, unlike NYC, marvelously handy for Leeds Train Station and all points north, south, east and west.

People we've worked with

We've worked with a huge range of clients from the public and the private sector. Sometimes we respond to tenders and briefs from clients and sometimes we take our own project ideas and present them to potential clients. The Culture Company strongly believes in working across sectors and will often act as the catalyst to the development of extremely interesting and innovative partnerships. We are well connected and always bring the best team and the most appropriate partners to the table.

 “The Culture Company thinks collaboratively and works with passion. On the series of projects we have made together, The Culture Company has always supported Opera North's aims sensitively and with great understanding. At the same time they have encouraged us into new adventures and innovations, through which we have together created a unique and groundbreaking body of original work.”
