Sarah Frances Mayhew
Sarah Mayhew is a practicing Artist, Arts Producer and Arts Consultant specialising in cultural event co-ordination and communications with substantial experience curating public engagement programmes involving event management, production, promotion, and cultural development.
Since graduating from art school Sarah has worked as a curator, creative producer and art critic, and has also been involved in programming, producing, and promoting events and festivals across the arts. The Worth a Look page is sporadically updated to highlight some of the interesting activity that she stumbles across, and thinks might be of interest to others.
Sarah’s art practice and freelance work share much common ground, in that they are largely concerned with the psychology of space, the way in which people move around space, consciously or otherwise, and interact and engage with their environment within that space. She is interested in pathways, the decision-making process, audience development, motivation, levels of engagement, and perception.
Just as Sarah’s art practice is not media specific nor is her freelance career fixed in the museum, a performance space, a festival field, commercial site, or site-specific spaces, more it requires audiences to enter into a very specifically designed and curated experience.
Whilst Sarah’s art practice has taken a back-seat over the last few years, never has the passion flown far from her daily thoughts. Sarah is making work again, looking for exhibition opportunities.
Sarah believes in the healing power of touch, and grounding, and is currently in the process of training to become a massage therapist.
