The project was made possible by an award from the Arts Council Culture Recovery Fund, facilitated by Arts & Heritage and ably supported by Artizan CIC in Torbay. 12 selected works from the project archive are installed and on permanent public display at Devon’s largest theatre, the Princess Theatre.
