Sylvie has worked in the voluntary and community arts sector for over 20 years. She came to Artlink after having been in various co-ordination and arts development roles in West and North Yorkshire. Over the past seven years as Director, we have developed the organisation with a particular emphasis on using the arts as a vehicle to recovery  and  as a preventative tool to mental ill health. We also have the massive challenge of raising funds to transform the terraced property, in which we are based, into a state of the art facility for arts and health!  We aim to move out over summer 2010 whilst the refurbishment takes place.
