Own It and further developments during our setting up period

Own It and Up & Coming Arts will work in partnership as they get themselves Up & Running!

Own It Education Programme will be based solely in Nottingham NG1 and Liverpool L1 area of the cities. Steph Richards and Daljit Bruce are working on a programme for this and is talking to all concerned parties to get this off the ground. Our interests here are learners that fall out of the education system all together working within the creative industries for an accredited course! Further news to follow!

Up & Coming Arts will be based in Nottingham and Liverpool to begin with. David Thomas Crawley is working with 'the hatchery' at Sheffield Hallam University and various people in getting this idea up and running. With special thanks to Lewis Biggs at Liverpool Biennial for help and advice. David is contacting various other arts organisations in making this work for the North!

James Argyle is working on the new concept website as we speak. This is a task in itself and may take a little bit of time. Our 2008 website is still live so you may want to take a look as we update this. Please be patient as we are all working for free at this time!

If you wish to be involved in some way for our coming events over the next few months please contact either David Thomas Crawley - Director or Steph Richards - Education Director on upandcomingarts@gmail.com

We are in the process of setting up Up & Coming Arts to be based in Nottingham's NG1 area of the city.

We will be building links with CUC Liverpool, Liverpool Biennial, New Art Exchange and various other organisations within the Nottingham city boundary. The north is the place to be!!!!

David Thomas Crawley is in the process of setting this venture with 'the hatchery' (part of Sheffield Hallam University setting up scheme).

Steph Richards and Daljit Bruce are helping making the educational remit of the company - offering Introductory and Level 1 Learners a way into the Arts as part of the overall scheme of Up & Coming Arts. We intend to build links with local schools, colleges, PRU etc. as part of our remit.

We will be running a PILOT scheme called Own It as part of our new Educational Programme in the NG1 area of Nottingham area of the city and L1 area of Liverpool.
