Kingwood Arts (located in Sydenham Hill) invites you to visit the brand new youth club and recording studio space currently under construction in the basement.
Opening up this space will have a huge impact on this local area, giving teenagers a much needed dedicated space, and vastly increasing the size and quality of the music sessions we can deliver. This is exactly what our community has asked us to do, and we are determined to deliver it!
We are inviting community partners & other interested parties to visit, have a tour of the site, and enjoy some light refreshments at 4pm and 6pm on Wednesday 16th October.
We hope this will allow those joining on behalf of organisations during the working day, and those joining outside of working hours will both have the opportunity to feed into the project!
We have already completed the demolition of some of the restrictive and hazardous low ceilings and brick walls, to expose the beautiful late Victorian glazed tiles and arched ceiling in what was once probably the primary kitchen for Kingswood House.
Our dedication to ensuring the space is accessible to all means we’ve also installed a wheelchair lift, which will provide access between the ground floor and basement.
To complete the project and to bring back into use an amazing space that has been underutilized for 70 years, we need your help!
Will be initiating a crowdfunder and will be exploring other options for grants and sponsorship, but we also want your ideas for the space*, your help reaching other potential partners, and crucially, your help to spread the word!
*your ideas will sit alongside an in-depth consultation with local young people who will be the key decision makers on everything from the paint to the furniture to the activities which take place in the space!
