The Art of Change was a visual arts organisation founded in 1992 by its co-directors Loraine Leeson and Peter Dunn. It built on the work of the Docklands Community Poster Project , producing work with communities of interest for the public domain. The Art of Change practice centred on issues of change - particularly the transformation of the urban environment and its impact upon quality of life and cultural identity, and was realised through a series of discrete projects around this theme. These included work with young people, initiatives around issues of sustainability, and public artworks based on community consultation. Digital technologies increasingly underpinned the work, initially through digital imaging, then through exploration of the communications opportunities of the Internet. This aspect of the practice together with the education work later became the basis of The cSPACE Trust, founded by Loraine Leeson following the dissolution of The Art of Change in 2002, while Peter Dunn continued to produce work for the built environment through his new organisation Arte .
