HOME Slough

Creative Producer / Oct 21 – Present

As the Creative Producer for HOME Slough Jake has overseen the final phase of activity for the 2019-22 funding period for the Arts Council England funded Creative People and Places project. Jake commissioned, produced and managed the creative programmes for the project, working closely with the Slough community to develop arts work for the town.

Projects included commissioning storyteller Vanessa Taylor to develop Story Kits with Slough Museum, which saw 600 storytelling kits distributed across Slough. With CAMPFIRES Jake commissioned 5 storytellers to work with 5 community groups across Slough to develop new stories related to their experiences of the town. Jake also produced LOVE Slough, a town-wide festival across 3 weeks in March 22 that saw thousands of participants/audiences engage with 23 arts events. From art exhibitions to micro-festivals and music and dance performances, LOVE Slough celebrated the diversity and wealth of creativity in Slough.
