New Hope Event

Lockdown was a time of reflection as well as a time of many challenges, especially for musicians and artists. With this in mind, Celebrate Life applied to the LetsCreate fund from Arts Council England for an event themed on hope, featuring a selection of work generated over lockdown. The event tied in with many others across the country to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.​

We were over the moon to hear our bid was successful, and wasted no time crafting an event that showcased creativity as an agent for peace. We chose to host the event at a chic, modern venue in Streatham Hill called Streatham Space Project. The event was named ‘New Hope, New Beginnings’ and featured local talent, rappers, singers, film and dance. It was free and promoted locally, making it accessible to the whole community and especially those who may have struggled during lockdown due to the lack of human connection.
