Background research - changing spaces project

Changing Spaces1-2

Hopefully, this changing spaces project should evolve with the show reel I create and I hope to be able to work well in the project. Below is some background information about the project.

Changing Spaces is a pioneering initiative developed by Cambridge City Council in partnership with Love Cambridge. The project started in June 2009 and has exhibited over 40 local artists and charity groups in more than 15 different locations since then.

The premise is simple enough; there is an ever increasing number of vacant retail units appearing within the streets of Cambridge. The economic downturn has had a significant effect on the very infrastructure of the world that we live in and while slim opportunities exist to fix the fundamental flaws, Changing Spaces offers unique solace to the creative arts.

Changing Spaces hope to bridge the divide between the people of Cambridge and the city itself.

Every two weeks new artists get the opportunity to display their work in one of the empty shop windows around the city centre. By focusing on short term exhibitions we can provide many opportunities to artists as well as creating a flexible schedule to suit all those involved.
