Based in the UK and working internationally, Arts & Parts is a creative production house working in the area of jazz and adventurous music — curating and producing creative projects including commissions, single concerts, and festivals for international audiences.

Arts & Parts is managed by Martel Ollerenshaw (director) and engages specialist personnel as required, including those working across communications, producing (producers, production/tour/stage managers, audio/light technicians, etc), designers (scenographers/light/sound) and works with creative individuals (musicians, filmmakers, etc) to realise creative works.
