The Team

Laura

Hello, I’m Laura, the Community Outreach Officer for the University of Edinburgh’s Museums Team. One of the nicest things about my job is that I’m always learning new things and getting to work with wonderful groups of people. I look forward to doing both in this project!’

My name is Sarah Bromage and I am Deputy Curator of the University of Stirling Art Collection. I am really looking forward to meeting everyone and working on the Power of Public Art project together. I hope that everyone enjoys the experience, learns more about public art in university museum collections and develops their art practice.

sofia

Hi, I am Sofia. I am 21 and I am a History of Art student at the University of Edinburgh. What I like more about art is its ability to connect people: I think it’s amazing how we can find a little bit of ourselves in something created by someone else and feel understood. I can’t wait to meet you all!
