Projects

What else will be needed to support culture?

There are also complementary actions that support these eight priority projects.

A. Ealing Broadway skills hub

What

Seed a creative skills hub that links to the retail and experience economy with a focus on new skills and platforms for creative experience and interactive leisure.

Why

Ealing Broadway is currently a gathering place for young audiences. There is a need for skills, training and informal networking opportunities for creative entrepreneurs.

B. High streets production programme

What

Unlock vacant high street retail premises as spaces for cultural production, encouraging dwell time, cultural tourism and engagement on the high street. Implement a management programme to bring spaces to use and embed a sustainable operator model.

Why

Vacancy is relatively high across Ealing's town centres, and there is an opportunity to activate these vacant spaces for use by artists for creative production.

Where

High Streets borough-wide, focus on Hanwell and Ealing
