CREATIVE VOUCHER ROUND THREE AWARDS: LOCALITIES AND THE CREATIVE INDUSTRIES: THE RIGHT PLACE, AT THE RIGHT TIME

We are delighted to announce that we have awarded the third round of the Creativeworks London Creative Voucher Scheme.

This scheme is the biggest of Creativeworks London’s three initiatives, with one million pounds-worth of vouchers available. The vouchers are warded to support creative and cultural companies to develop collaborative research projects with an academic partner around one of Creativeworks London’s research themes.

The theme for the third round of vouchers is Localities and the Creative Industries: The Right Place, at the Right Time. It is our common experience that place is somehow bound up with the practice of the creative economy, yet this idea can also be difficult to specify precisely.

The awards have gone to seven small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and will support London’s businesses and academics in developing projects with a positive effect on London’s Creative Economy.

We would like to congratulate:
