About us

Bright Culture provides consultancy services across the heritage and cultural sector.

Bright Culture is a small values-led consultancy partnership of three experienced consultants, facilitators, and project managers who are knowledgeable and passionate about the arts and heritage. As a partnership, we are committed to making a difference, respecting and listening to people, working inclusively, optimising social value for the planet and people, and bringing stories alive.

Based in Brighton, London, and Lincoln, we offer local knowledge, experience, and a broader perspective gained through working across the UK. We work with museums, arts organisations, heritage sites, and landscapes to meet local, regional, and national needs. Our clients range from volunteer-run groups to major national organisations, but our approach remains the same. We seek to understand an organisation’s objectives, culture, skills, and resources and consider how we can support teams in achieving their aims.

Our Approach

Our work starts with people: putting ‘people first’ and responding to their interests and needs, whether they be staff, volunteers or audiences. We are committed to producing high quality outputs with sustainable benefits, through collaboration with audiences, organisations and artists.

In order to support each other and those we work with effectively, we have developed principles that reflect our motivation and values.

Genuine & Passionate

It’s about making a difference. We are motivated by empowering people in their development, and supporting them in the realisation of their goals or work.

Collaborative & Consultative

It’s all about people. We are committed to valuing and understanding different perspectives, identifying and working towards a common purpose.

Creative

It’s about thinking imaginatively. We champion curiosity, embrace new ways of working and are open minded in how we engage with ideas and people.

Quality

Committed to high standards. We produce detailed, rigorous, and responsive work that is delivered and completed to high standards.

Outcome Focused

Making things happen. We work with partners and clients to develop clear and realistic objectives that lead to ambitious outcomes.

Continuously Learning

We have a thirst for learning and are excited by environments that challenge and stretch us. We seek opportunities to enhance knowledge, engage in debate and share experiences.
