Fulton to lead national and international plans for ArtReach

LORNA FULTON is the new Creative Director at contemporary arts development agency ArtReach, where she will lead the organisation’s creative direction and programme development. With 25 years’ experience as a programme director and producer, she was most recently Co-Artistic Director of Brass Festival in Durham and Head of Middlesbrough Town Hall, a role she left in protest at the Council’s decision to override the venue’s programming. She was also Festival Director for SO Festival in Skegness and East Lindsey, and is currently Artistic Director of Lathe Revival, which is building an archive of contemporary roots music on restored vintage equipment.
