05/06 ACE submission

MADE’s artform based investigations and partnerships – sound and lighting – have increased the depth of our interrogations between art, artists and regeneration, which will be built on in 2006/7. Equally the culmination and experience of the long standing Youth Space, partnership project with GO-WM influenced MADE’s strategic development and in 2005/6 plans began to launch a new programme – Creative Communities – to build on the Youth Space approach of connecting artists, architects, local client teams and young people in urban design and crime reduction contexts.
