Jelly is Reading's award winning visual arts charity. 

During lockdown we have been running an artist residency with 12 artists documenting their experiences, 12 Artists at Home. 

As part of the funding we have been given the opportunity to produce a podcast, Jelly, Sound & Vision. 

A series of relaxed chats with interesting people who happen to be creative and sometimes make art.

This episode is a chat with artist Matt Hulse. Matt was one of our 12 Artists at Home. These words are ruthlessly stolen from Matt's website...

Matt Hulse is an artist, filmmaker, photographer, performer and writer. His films have screened at dozens of festivals and galleries in 25+ countries internationally.

He has been nominated thrice each for The Jarman Award and The Margaret Tait Awards. In 2019 he was one of ten artists commissioned to make a short film for Margaret Tait 100, celebrating the centenary of Orcadian filmmaker.

In 2017 he was the overall winner of Germany’s prestigious Felix Schoeller Photo Award.

2020 brings to light his third feature-length film, supported by Creative England and Creative Scotland – SOUND FOR THE FUTURE – plus a number of short films, including SALT, a collaboration with singer-songwriter Sami Fitz (premiering at the Swedenborg Film Festival).

Another massive THANKS to Matt for doing some jingles for his podcast!

We also want to say a huge THANK YOU to Culture Recovery Fund grants programme being administered by Arts Council England on behalf of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport for awarding us a grant to help us through this period of crazy times! 

Arts Council England is the national development agency for creativity and culture. We have set out our strategic vision in Let’s Create that by 2030 we want England to be a country in which the creativity of each of us is valued and given the chance to flourish and where everyone of us has access to a remarkable range of high quality cultural experiences. We invest public money from Government and The National Lottery to help support the sector and to deliver this vision. www.artscouncil.org.uk

Following the Covid-19 crisis, the Arts Council developed a £160 million Emergency Response Package, with nearly 90% coming from the National Lottery, for organisations and individuals needing support. We are also one of several bodies administering the Government’s Culture Recovery Fund and unprecedented support package of £1.57 billion for the culture and heritage sector.
