"UP Projects believes in challenging perceptions of what public art can be.  Operating as a gallery without walls, we are inspired by the complexities of the public realm to create a programme of artists' commissions, projects, strategies and multidisciplinary events for the public audience."

Since our first project in 2002, our work has consistently attracted considerable press and public attention.  As a small team with big ambitions we often work in partnership to enable us to deliver projects to their full potential and incorporate different specialisms and approaches.  Through extensive practical experience we have become specialists in the complexities of producing art projects and events in parks & green spaces with the ability to develop strategic solutions as well as support clients in the practicalities of project delivery.  Audience engagement is also vital to our work, and we consistently seek to find new ways of reaching the widest possible audience, through high visibility marketing and promotional campaigns, accessible events and related education programmes. 

UP Projects has recently become a National Portfolio Organisation, receiving regular funding from Arts Council England from 2012. We also seek funding from a broad range of partners from both the public and private sector (ranging from Foundations and Local Authorities, to corporate sponsors and private patrons) on a project-by-project basis. All of our supporters are vital partners in our work.
