We’re extremely pleased to announce that the wonderful @belindacrozier_artist has joined the CBPP committee and takes on the role of Exhibitions Lead.
Belinda is handed the “drill of courage” from Lucy - we know she’ll be brilliant and can’t wait to see what she does with the next show! Great to have you onboard Belinda!

A post to celebrate the superhero that is @lucystopford_artist who is stepping down from the CBPP committee and her role as Exhibitions Lead, to focus on other projects.
Lucy has been at the heart of the CBPP driving the group forward with her inimitable energy and expertise. She has led all four of our major exhibitions at the Brixton Department Store - they could not have happened without her!
She remains a member of the CBPP, and hands over the “drill of courage” and the role of Exhibitions Lead to another brilliant member, who will be announced in a post later this week.
Thank you for everything, Lucy! 🥂🥂🥂
