We work with arts venues, museums, cultural programmes, heritage organisations and sector bodies, from small locally-based organisations to national bodies.

Most of our cultural clients work with us over the long term. That means we get to know their audiences and build digital and brand solutions that genuinely reflect where the organisation is going. We take the accountability that comes with public funding seriously, and we design and build with that in mind.

The challenges we understand

Six years of working alongside the cultural sector, from grassroots organisations to Arts Council England funded institutions and the physical spaces that bring culture to audiences.

Multiple audiences, one digital presence

The audiences a cultural organisation serves are genuinely diverse and so are their needs. Getting the brand, the website and the wider communications to work across all of them, without compromise, is something we have a lot of experience doing.

Arts Council and funder requirements

We have worked with more than ten Arts Council England funded organisations, including National Portfolio Organisations. We understand the brand compliance requirements, the accessibility standards, the impact reporting expectations and the particular scrutiny that comes with publicly funded work.

Pre-opening and launch moments

New venues and programmes face a specific challenge in  building awareness, attracting audiences and establishing identity before there is much to show. We have worked with organisations at exactly this moment and know how to build momentum without overpromising.

Accessibility as a cultural value

For cultural organisations, accessibility isn’t just a technical compliance requirement. It is a reflection of who you believe the work is for. We design and build to WCAG 2.1 AA standards as a minimum, and we bring the same thinking to the broader question of whether the brand and digital presence genuinely welcomes the full range of people you’re trying to reach.

Programming and events

Events are often the primary reason people visit cultural sector websites. We design content structures and event systems that work for organisations with complex, high-volume and constantly changing programmes.

Who we work with

We have worked with cultural organisations across museums, arts venues, heritage, exhibitions, cultural infrastructure and sector development. Clients include The Natural History Museum, Science and Media Museum, Bradford District Museums and Galleries, Bradford Live, Impressions Gallery, Bradford Arts Centre, Bradford City of Culture 2025, The Exhibitions Group, Figurative, Bradford Producing Hub and Association for Heritage Interpretation, as well as a number of smaller Bradford-based cultural organisations.

Working with the Out Of Place team on our Bradford Live World Cup screening campaign was brilliant from start to finish. They produced creative, eye-catching designs that really nailed the brief, bringing the campaign to life. Their ability to respond quickly and support us at short notice was invaluable, and they remained committed throughout, helping us successfully deliver this large and complex project. Thank you OOP, I hope to work with you again soon.
