We establish and host events for communities to create, make and debate, with a collective interest in how art can make a real difference to people’s lives. HATCH’s ethos and approach creates projects where everyone involved feels an ownership of what has been created and can see a legacy for themselves in the future of the project. Our approach to projects and events starts with consultation and involvement with the stakeholders or constituents for that project. We don’t presume to know what a project needs to look like until we have listened to the people who have the largest stake in its success. As far as is possible and appropriate for each project we enable constituents to develop the project from the ground up and take ownership of it into the future.
