For this second meeting, 23rd July, 4pm, we will focus on the Cultural Olympiad.
The Cultural Olympiad is an integral part of the London 2012 Olympics, beginning the weekend of 26-28 September 2008 and running through to the end of the Games. During the Olympiad, London and the UK welcome the world in celebrating internationalism, cultural diversity, sharing and understanding.
The Cultural Olympiad will also reflect and support a number of themes, such as community projects, sustainable long-term benefits to cultural life in the UK, and excellence in the performing arts and creative industries.
Hadrian Garrard, Culture Lead for the Five Host Boroughs, comes to Arcola to explain how artists and organisations can be involved.
