THE INFLUENCERS No, it’s not a 1970s spy-fi or police television drama. ThE It’s a new series of interviews with interesting people doing interesting things in the art world. They can be leading big organisations or making things happen at the grassroots. Either way, we think it’s useful to know about them. We've talked to some remarkable people so far, and there are many more on our list for 2015, starting with Andrew Brewerton, the inspirational Principal of Plymouth College of Art. Featured so far are: ≥  aren MacKinnon Director & curator of Artes Mundi K ≥ Tony Charles Director, Platform A, Middlesbrough ≥ Sarah Rowles Director, Q-Art On the editorial front we're also introducing a new series of guest columnists, starting with the Scottish art critic Moira Jeffrey.
