About

Vista Projects (UK) Ltd. (Co no. 6184588.) was established by Lynn & Christian Barnes in 2007 to continue the work already being undertaken by us as a partnership and prior to that as sole traders. It provides consultancy and production services in the arts.

The company is commissioned in the north of England and Scotland by a portfolio of public and private sector clients in the property, regeneration, development and local government sectors to initiate, manage and deliver a range of cultural and creative projects with an emphasis on Public Art.

Vista has research interests in energy crops and organic growing and the management of landscape. It is currently developing and running a vegetable box scheme – VISTAVEG! and has recently secured significant Leader + funding to develop the scheme as a social enterprise (Community Supported Agriculture Project). VistaVeg has been accepted to bid into round two of the big lottery’s local food programme.

The core company business is:-

• developing creative opportunities, briefs and client aspirations
• developing and managing art & design competitions
• cultural strategy and policy development
• project management and co-ordination
• creating artworks often in collaboration with others
• growing and distributing vegetables and advocating new thinking on food systems and culture by taking action.
