SPACE

The Olympic Artist Forum is an information and events platform for artists and creative practitioners engaging with the Olympics and the changing cultural landscape of London. With so many people effected by the Olympics there is a wealth of activity occurring in the areas and communities of the five Olympic boroughs. The Olympic Artist Forum events are open to everyone to see and discuss what is happening and what work is being produced in response.

The Olympic Artist Forum is being run by Hilary Powell (Optimistic Productions) and George Unsworth (SPACE).

The Olympic Artist Forum hosts an event every 3 months. The
events are opportunities to see and discuss new work and provide
an information sharing and networking opportunity.
