Clapton Arts Trust launched

posted on Wednesday, October 13, 2010 06:15 PM

I'm pleased to announce that on Oct 4th the Clapton Arts Trust was officially launched with the unveiling of the logo and declaration of the trusts aims.

At the launch
Jennette Arnold (London Assembly) and Guy Nicholson (cabinet member Regeneration & Olympics) were there to add their support along with Hackney councillors, trust members, resident artists and local residents.

The main purpose of the Charity is to preserve the heritage of Clapton through its buildings and to support its art, crafts and culture, making them available to every resident of Clapton (and the wider community) to appreciate and enjoy.



This exciting development, driven by residents, artists, councillors and others, aims to bring new life to Clapton and Hackney - to regenerate the locally unique Old Tram Depot, make it accessible to everyone rich or poor by making space available where artists, craftspeople, musicians, and others can come and perform and practice their art and where those same artists and craftspeople will be able to take classes and workshops - open to everyone.
