Graffio Arts is Steve Barradell and Guy Boyle. We like to solve creative problems and we’ve solved quite a few over the years. We are experienced at moving across disciplines to find the right solution for the right situation. We have worked as Educators, Creative Directors, Marketeers, Mentors and Creative Business Consultants.

INITIATIVES

If there is one problem to solve we find a solution. If there are 100 problems to solve, we set up an initiative to tackle them on an ongoing basis. Gallery Without Walls, The Culture Delivery Service, and now, Institute are examples of some of the frameworks that we have developed.

INSTITUTE

Why did we create Institute? We wanted to be able to collaborate more openly with the incredible local talent available in the region. We’ve become more and more convinced that we need to do things differently to cope with the creative challenges presented by our relationship with new technology and a changing cultural and physical landscape. We need to encourage productive ideas to develop and to find better ways to communicate these ideas.

Institute is the culmination of our creative and business experience and the umbrella for all of our creative endeavours from now on. Institute provides design and creative business services, produces arts projects and offers technology based media solutions. We collaborate remotely or together at Institute in Loughborough, UK.
