Haring Woods Associates is a London based creative and strategic consultancy with an international reach, established in 1996 and working today with senior consultants Tony Beckwith, Benjamin Barber and Jan-Gustav Strandanes.

Haring Woods Associates uses arts and culture to effect public, civic and corporate change and forge more democratic and productive communities, both public and private.  We work with public / private sector partnerships to develop and deliver innovative, creative solutions to public realm problems and we have established a solid track record with communities by incorporating artists and art into civic life. 

Our strength is as an ideas team committed to practical solutions to the civic, economic and political challenges of an interdependent world.  Our interdisciplinary creative practices include ideas and concept development, cultural and business strategies, and new models of creative engagement that allow the public to inform policy and development, influence the design and use of public space, and help shape new arts initiatives.

Our commitment to raising awareness and fostering transnational and interdependent solutions to global social, economic and environmental challenges is evident through our international associates and our relationships with New York based Civworld / Demos’ Interdependence Day initiatives, and with the United Nations Habitat programme, as well as with working artists and creative professionals in Europe, North America and elsewhere.
