Creative Director: People Around Here

I founded the community arts charity People Around Here where I held the positions of Creative Director/Learning & Engagement Officer and Lead Artist. PAH have been engaging schools and local communities in collaborative cross-arts projects and tutoring classes since 1996 and have now evolved into Hushland Creative.

Hushland Records:

Hushland Records is a small independent record label co-run by Rachel and myself and our work can heard using the Band Camp links on our pages.

Teacher Review from ACW Lead Creative Schools program:

As a creative practitioner Bill Taylor-Beales has patience in abundance, an ability to connect with children from diverse backgrounds and ICT skills that will enhance any project. He utilises his filmmaking skills and his artistic flair to showcase and document creative processes whilst, enhancing the development of digital competency skills of the children he works with in a vast range of different environments. I cannot recommend working with him highly enough. 

 

Our work with him in St.Joseph’s Cathedral Primary School on a Lead Creative Schools project culminated in the pupils work being exhibited in the Tate Modern London. A life changing moment for those pupils involved. His artistic skill and flair for ICT and ability to enhance and develop the digital competency of those with which he works is excellent and any collaboration with Bill would certainly enhance the creative journey. Professional and calm, it was a pleasure to work with him and we are very proud of the work produced on our creative journey with him.
