About Artspace staff:
Laura Elliott’s multi-disciplinary practice derives from an interest in sharing the stories of people and places; the kind of unique and often unusual stories that come from living in an old country. She uses a variety of mechanisms to realise contemporary visual art and heritage projects; often in collaboration with other people.
Since 2009 Laura has been Director of Coventry Artspace, leading on artistic programming, strategic and organisational development, management of staff and volunteers, fundraising and working closely with the Board of Trustees.
Laura also heads a team delivering Coventry City Council’s Arts Development Services, strengthening the art offer in Coventry for artists, audiences, community groups and stakeholders via strategy development and support projects.
Her dream is to open a museum one day.
