Dr Venda Louise Pollock from the Fine Art department at Newcastle University has just been awarded a small grant to conduct some research into the involvement of artists in design or planning teams. Her focus is on projects, based in Scotland, which have been carried out within the last 5 years, which are on-going or which are planned for the next couple of years. If you have been involved in a project that you think would be useful to this research please contact Vee on venda.pollock@ncl.ac.uk.
