People and places inform everything that Revolutionary Arts has done since it was founded by two artists in 2000. Dan & Tracey Thompson still run the company, and every project starts with a conversation with them, and usually – a cup of tea. Ideas are worked up, plans take shape and then a To Do list is drawn up.
