Lindsay Endean BMus (Hons), MCIM, FRSA - Salt Arts CIC Director
Lindsay set up Salt Arts to make things she loves with people she thinks are fab. Her career has taken her from orchestras in Oxford to libraries in Croydon and shops in Covent Garden, and more recently on to commemorations in Plymouth and music in Cornwall. High points include opening a community arts venue in a former drugs factory and watching 30,000 people follow a
very
large dragon around Plymouth (these two things are not connected). The single low point was probably eating an insect-flour cookie in the name of Public Engagement.
Lindsay lives in Cornwall with two children, a husband and a cat and any spare time is for sailing.
