Spectroscope, founded by award-winning artist and creative director Cathy Mager, is a Bristol-based organization specializing in the creation of sustainable, immersive art installations and pop-up workshops. The company operates internationally, bringing to life otherworldly artworks that shine a light on lost histories and hidden communities. Spectroscope's unique approach involves collaborations with deaf and disabled artists, offering a platform for these underrepresented voices. The business primarily serves cultural institutions, public spaces, and community organizations, aiming to engage a diverse audience through its innovative projects. Spectroscope's business model revolves around securing funding from arts councils, grants, and partnerships with various organizations. Revenue is generated through commissioned projects, public and private funding, and ticket sales for events. The company has been recognized for its groundbreaking work, receiving significant funding from Arts Council England to expand its collective of artists and producers. Recent projects include 'Night Bloom,' an extraordinary projection artwork staged in London and Shanghai, which tells the story of a mystical fight for survival through the lens of deaf individuals.
