Concept
The Hart Culture Project was founded on the premise of a series of Voluntary Artistic Pilots and Academic Research in Photography, Graphic Design, Arts and Cultural Engagement Practice by a number of Volunteers and Arts Leaders. The Project grew via notable Alumni of Central Saint Martin's College of Art & Industrial Design. Other notable Alumni of Central Saint Martin's include Colin Firth (Actor and Writer, )John Galliano, Stella McCartney(Fashion Designer), Pierce Brosnan (Actor) and Yinka Shonibare Byam Shaw School of Art (Artist). The word "Hart" is an alternative word for "Stag" and relates to the surname directly synonymous with the origins of the Scottish "Harts" Clan , which features a "Deer" on the official Coat of Arms. Thus, "Hart" in HART CULTURE stands for a Culture for 'Love' and intelligent appreciation for all things signifcantly 'Cultural'.
