Producing
As of April 2024, we have welcomed independent producer Callum Holt to The Middle Floor as our Executive Director. Alongside our Artistic Director Imogen Reeve, we are delighted that The Middle Floor now offers producing services for artists and companies.
Interested? Even if your idea is in the early stages, please contact callum@themiddlefloor.com to set up a meeting. Please note that in busy periods it may take us a few weeks to get back to you, so please factor this into your project timeline if you have one.
You come up with a brilliant, wonderful, ingenious idea for an art’s project and get in touch with The Middle Floor!
You meet with us and chat through your idea. We will ask you some questions about your idea to help us understand why it is you want to do this project, why it is important to you, and how you want to go about turning it from just an idea into a finished product. If we like the idea, and you like us, then we’ll agree a way to work together.
