MARK DEVEREUX PROJECTS (MDP) IS AN INDEPENDENT CURATORIAL AND ARTIST DEVELOPMENT ORGANISATION. WE SPECIALISE IN SUPPORTING EARLY TO MID-CAREER ARTISTS THROUGH CREATIVE COLLABORATION AND TAILORED MENTORING. MDP is a small but devoted team seeking to create safer, braver spaces for artists. Our meticulous approach is founded on listening, trust, honesty and caring. We build critical but nurturing relationships with artists across a variety of artforms. We collaborate with artists across the UK to develop and curate ambitious creative projects, ranging from touring solo exhibitions to participatory workshops. This challenges artists through creative risk-taking while introducing their practice to new audiences. Our work creates new paid opportunities for artists that aren’t freely available. Our professional development work focuses on the individual artist, offering a unique pathway outside of institutional programmes. Since 2013 we have provided hundreds of artists with invaluable advice, guidance and critique through one-to-one mentoring sessions, specialist workshops and national artist development programmes. We ensure that our professional development activities are affordable and seek to help artists when cost is a barrier. MDP is committed to dismantling the barriers that often prevent artists from advancing their careers, such as a lack of formal artistic training, childcare responsibilities, or being Disabled or neurodiverse. We work towards our ambition that artists will be valued and paid for their work, able to forge sustainable careers on their own terms.

London

EXPERIENCE ACACIA The graceful Acacia (a-cay-sha) tree, commonly known as the wattle, instantly conjures up images of Australia. As our national floral emblem, the Golden Wattle emblazons the Australian Coat of Arms and its green foliage and gold flowers are the inspiration for our national sporting colours. That’s why we have chosen the Acacia flower to represent our passion for Australia and the great state of Victoria. Acacia Luxury Private Tours offers exclusive private travel experiences in Melbourne and throughout regional Victoria. Drawing upon extensive local knowledge and our relationships with a vast network of providers, we have carefully fashioned unique itineraries designed to showcase the very best each region has to offer. Through a process of consultation, we gain an understanding of our clients’ own personal interests and willingly tailor itineraries to meet their discerning needs. That’s the beauty of bespoke private travel. So why choose Acacia? It’s simple really. We are all about unsurpassed service, safety, and total commitment to making a visit to our beautiful state a memorable one. It’s the added touches, or “magic moments” as we like to call them, that set Acacia apart from our rivals. A glass of champagne as our guests watch the sunset over the Twelve Apostles, a behind-the-scenes tasting of a back vintage hosted by the winemaker herself, or a picnic of local produce in the glorious surrounds of the Australian bush. At Acacia, we select only the finest restaurants, cellar doors, and providores to form the heart of your unforgettable experience. But in the end, it’s the friendships we forge with our clients along the way that are the true testament of our dedication.

lighthouse futures trust

Leeds

Lighthouse Futures Trust is an innovative and forward-looking organisation with a mission of changing the lives of young adults. We do this by designing and delivering engaging employability programmes that include opportunities to work with a range of local employers via a supported internship. Our curriculum focuses on two areas – Liveability and Employability – and is aimed at students aged 18+ with an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP). We start by getting to know each of our interns so that we can understand their skills, experiences and aspirations for the future. We then devise a bespoke programme for them which combines a range of different elements including: working on-site at a range of local employers; 1 to 1 coaching & mentoring; group work; support in gaining qualifications in Maths and English; participating in an enterprise project where they learn to create and launch a new product and service. Our talented students have a range of support needs. Some have mild to moderate learning disabilities, others are on the autistic spectrum or have social, emotional or mental health support needs. They join the programme because they want to move into paid employment and showcase their many skills and talents and just need some extra support in order for them to fulfil their potential. Our role – and our passion – is to help unlock their talents and shine a light on their abilities. From the beginning of their journey with us, we support or students to develop skills so that they can forge their own pathways in work, accessing specialist support as and when they need it, but taking ownership of their future, from the start. We believe that this helps them to find and keep paid employment more easily, and thus create a more sustainable future.
