Stalker joins Lakeland Arts

HELEN STALKER is joining Lakeland Arts as the company's new Senior Producer (Collections).

She will be responsible for collections and programming at Windermere Jetty Museum, Blackwell's Arts & Crafts house and Abbot Hall once it reopens this summer.

Founder and former CEO of The Turnpike in Leigh, Stalker has also held roles at the V&A Theatre Museum, Tate Liverpool and The Whitworth.

She says working with Lakeland Arts presents a terrific opportunity to get to know their venues and collections.

"I have an unwavering belief in the ability of art to make new connections between people, to invite surprising perspectives, improve environments, create new spaces for wellbeing and celebrate our histories."
