Case studies
Fermynwoods Contemporary Arts
Fermynwoods Contemporary Art was initiated at the end of 1998 by Rosalind Stoddart and Patrick Duerden. They saw the need for a facility to promote contemporary visual art in the county of Northamptonshire and from the outset it was their intention to bring work of quality and significance to a wide audience. The organisation commissions exhibitions, events, residencies and educational activities. This case study is in the process of being built so please check back for more information soon. read more
Northamptonshire Farm Diversification
There are a collection of case studies included here. All of them are examples of farm or small-holding owners diversifying their income generation using cultural activities. These case studies are all taken from the research conducted by Culture East Midlands that led to the report 'Farm Diversification and Culture' that is available in full from the resources pages of this website. The material for each case study came from interviews with the owners and farmers themselves. read more
