In Certain Places

Exploring new approaches to art, culture and place.

In Certain Places is a programme of artistic interventions and events, led by Elaine Speight, Professor Charles Quick and Rachel Bartholomew, in the School of Art, Design and Fashion at the University of Central Lancashire. Based in the City of Preston, the project examines how artists can contribute to the form and functions of a place, by exploring new approaches to art, culture and urban development.

Since 2003, In Certain Places has worked with artists and architects to develop temporary interventions in Preston City Centre, hosted artists’ residencies, and organised talks and debates about art practice and place. Collectively, these activities have generated new understandings of the urban environment, enabled new ideas to be tested in the city’s public spaces, and formed collaborations between artists, institutions, communities, businesses and other individuals in Preston and beyond.
