The first meeting about Arts Space of the Future took place on Friday, 6th June. It was a positive visioning meeting trying to provide vision for how artists should engage with regeneration projects and the Cultural olympics.
Arcola Theatre, along with many others, is keen to deploy the arts as a means of brokering a new set of relationships and keeping Dalston real, by capitalising on the opportunities offered by the new indoor and outdoor spaces being. One of the purposes of this exercise is to ask the question “Must ‘adding value’ always displace the value that is already in situ?”
Please download the meeting notes and the project description.
The next meeting will be held on *Wednesday, 23rd July, 4pm* at Arcola Theatre.
We hope to see you again for further discussion about Creative Futures for Dalston.
Please circulate this information far and wide and bring your friends!
