Local is a creative practice specialising in place-based community engagement and cultural programming.
We engage communities through art, research, and creative action, supporting them to create positive change right on their doorsteps. We celebrate what makes a place unique while introducing fresh perspectives to shape spaces that are more connected, relevant, and sustainable.
Collaboration and participation are at the core of what we do, ensuring everyone has a voice in shaping their local environment through inclusive, ethical, and sustainable practices. With a flexible toolkit of creative research methods, we tailor each project to its community—whether through public art, cultural programming, or engagement initiatives, we always start with Local.
Alongside our core team, we collaborate with a growing network of artists, creative partners, and forward-thinkers to deliver ambitious projects both locally and globally. Together, we’re not afraid to ask tough questions or challenge current thinking.

We have a tried and tested toolkit, but we’re open minded! Every project is as bespoke as its place. So, whether it’s through public art, cultural programming or community engagement, we always start with local to unlock the potential of place.
