Good news this week. We have been awarded a New Initiatives Grant by Eastbourne Borough Council to run two more BMPD events over the coming months. These events will specifically aim to support artists in the run up to the first ever Eastbourne Cutural Festival which will take place in March 2008 to coincide with the opening of the new Eastbourne Cutural Centre.
In addition, we have been invited by The Towner Art Gallery to work with them to promote an artists' networking event which will take place on the 18th August alongside new work from Amy Cunningham and Hayley Skipper from the artist collective SpRoUt. The SpRoUt artists will talk about The Space Between project and about their wider practice.
SpRout were commissioned by The Towner Art Gallery to develop an ambitious public art project, The Space Between, in partnership with local schools as part of the Building Sights programme, a series of ongoing projects to raise awareness of the Towner’s relocation to the Eastbourne Cultural Centre.
