Circling the Square was formed in 2002 by
artist Tim Ward who graduated from Goldsmiths' College, London in 1980
with a degree in Fine Art. Since then Tim has worked extensively in designing,
managing and implementing public art projects and creative programmes
within regeneration schemes.
Circling the Square's commitments are:
- The application of artistic principles to urban design, in
working to create places rich in meaning, dramatic in appearance and individual
in character.
- Collaborative working on delivering projects, from initiating strategies
to the implementation of innovative projects.
- Engaging all sectors of culturally diverse communities to tackle
local issues and developing creative solutions.
- Promoting high quality environmental, social & cultural regeneration
projects that deliver on creating the urban and rural renaissance.
A key element in all our work is the ability to work in partnership with local
communities and establishing participation programmes that enable them
significant contribution in shaping their environment. Circling the
Square brings a creative approach to projects; from identifying opportunities
for innovative projects, costing & programming work, fundraising,
developing imaginative ways of fully engaging local communities within the creative process.

& implements public art, street furniture & environmental projects, combining a variety
of different media ranging from steelwork, glass, stone, photographic plates,
signage, landscaping and lighting features. CTS is committed to
working collaboratively in delivering projects, aiming to create projects of
real value which are strongly supported both by local communities and their
project partners & which imbue a shared sense of ownership and pride in the
improvements.
