Housing & Place
It’s not just about bricks and mortar
Some of the UK’s social housing stock is going through major regeneration at the moment. One of Eventus’ key strengths is training local authorities and housing developers in an understanding of culture and its role in developing sustainable communities. We strongly believe that using arts projects to engage communities in the decision-making process is key to developing areas that people will want to live in and take pride in.
We have worked on city wide schemes – Creative Places – and on creative consultation and strategy for housing associations.
“It's great to be teaming up a small third sector organisation with a large local authority. Creative Places is the best example of our collaboration - it's the culmination of working together for over a decade and has produced a really high quality set of projects and relationships that we now plan to extend into a Creative People programme”
