Alison Denholm is the Creative Development Manager at City Arts , responsible for nurturing new artistic ideas and projects, with a particular focus on outdoor arts, including carnival, street puppetry, festivals, and large-scale public events.

City Arts has been breaking down barriers since 1977, reconnecting people with art, culture, and creativity. The organization champions those who are underrepresented in the arts, recognizing and nurturing talent that has often been overlooked or undervalued. Believing that creativity can thrive anywhere — in any space, by anyone — City Arts promotes the idea that everyone has the potential to be an artist.
