Freeny Yianni, Creative Director of Close Ltd, has been appointed as the new Co-Chair of Somerset Art Works alongside Melita Armitage.
Somerset Art Works (SAW) is a charity which promotes the visual arts in our county and creates opportunities for artists, as well as engaging communities with creativity and culture.
"We want Somerset to be a place where people expect to engage with excellent visual art that is surprising and distinctive. To create an atmosphere of adventure and experimentation that inspires artists to produce and present new work and for audiences to experience it firsthand. We initiate a wide range of projects in a variety of settings, working in partnership with other arts and non-arts organisations, supporting the artists who enrich our lives and always integrating artists' professional development. We work to increase public engagement, weaving together communities and raising the profile of the vibrant contemporary visual, digital and applied arts scene in Somerset.", Somerset Art Works
