Peter Saaremets, Lead Musician at Skimstone Arts
Many of the team have worked with Skimstone Arts for several years before joining the Leadership Team to create work that is important to them and their community alongside the company. The opportunity to join the Leadership Team is really rewarding, and a chance to develop skills further.
Joe Hodgson said:
“At our meetings, we always do our best to take the initiative and make decisions in order to benefit the ongoing work of Skimstone Arts. Additionally however, we also have our own goals and start new projects accordingly. Currently (As of July 2021), we have begun work on Reality Boots’ next album, a huge project which presents many challenging tasks. This is a really exciting project, and we’re always looking to share our work to ensure that we are not only transparent in our process, but we’re also sharing our passion for what we do. To this end, every meeting we have is recorded through our Leadership Minutes, and we are collating our activities over each quarter into a report to present to Skimstone Arts’ Board of Trustees”
