Funding support from Arts Council England, this “Lovability” project employed the skills of Dr Nicole Ferdinand and Dr Martin Robertson in a consultation process with representatives of communities with whom b-side CIC live and work. These communities are, respectively, the residents, artists and local organisations. Through this consultation a positive forward and resilient trajectory could be better established in the minds and actions of these b-side communities and other stakeholders. Over a two-day period, consultation with residents and local organisations (which included artists) offered each group a constructive environment in which to give deep consideration of what it is that makes Portland so special to each of them, and to then consider what they feel could be the best and worst of future outcomes for Portland stakeholders. Over a two-day period, consultation with residents and local organisations (which included artists) offered each group a constructive environment in which to give deep consideration of what it is that makes Portland so special to each of them, and to then consider what they feel could be the best and worst of future outcomes for Portland
