What happens after an exhibition or project ends? How do artists build sustainable art practices, find genuinely supportive relationships and continue to make the work they believe in? Dr Susan Jones has spent years listening to the reality of being an artist. Her research, Artists' lives: ecologies for resilience, was produced for Creative Land Trust and published in 2025. The report follows fourteen artists over time, capturing the complexities involved in balancing life and artistry.

Six years at Creative Land Trust (CLT), and Gemma Dean has had a hand in almost every structural decision that's let us prove art and property can work together. From the fit-out finance that got our first studios open, to the policy work reshaping how developers think about affordable workspace. As she moves on to her next chapter, we sat down to ask her experience as Creative Land Trust's  Head of Development.
