Two years ago 9 artists were invited to be part of Here and Now Project residency & I was one of them. Today marks the end of the programme, marking 25th anniversary of national lottery. Some incredible arts projects have taken place, including We Found Love In The 80s!

19 November marks The National Lottery's anniversary! To celebrate we are sharing some of the highlights from our #HereandNow2020 project, supported by Future Arts Centres and Arts Council England with artist Nilupa 💚

Here at the Bluecoat, we had a summer of fun with Bluecoat Platform created by @SimonBloor_ Tom Bloor & children from Out of the Blue. This wouldn't have been possible without Here and Now Project Future Arts Centres 🙏 Watch the making of Bluecoat Platform here vimeo.com/553375681 2/2

Today is a celebration of #HereandNow2020 Here and Now Project, a national project supported by The National Lottery and @ACE_National, which brought together diverse local communities to shape the culture in their local area. Read about our project with @knockback78, Home is Where the Art Is ⬇️

40 art centres, 38 artists, 16 cultural organisations, 453 co-creators and 2537 participants have shaped #HereandNow2020 projects for their local communities from South Shields to Exeter! Here’s what they had to say about taking part …

A new sound installation, Portrait in Ten Parts, was created uniquely for Stockton by invisible flock & Umar. It highlighted both the hidden and distinctive sounds of places where communities gather, and was played throughout our first floor from Aug-Sept this year (2/3)

#HereandNow2020 wasn’t a local project, it was a national one, with a huge reach in the press. In Dec we're releasing a podcasts series which will tell the national story, created by brigitte aphrodite DrKateFox @nikeshshukla Vanessa Kisuule & produced by @89Up. Watch this space!

As #HereandNow2020 wraps up, artist Dawinder Bansal FRSA reflects on their project 'We Found Love in the 80s' and the importance of working with communities at this time - click the link to read their blog! here-and-now.org.uk/we-found-love-…

A huge thank you to everyone who made #HereandNow2020 from participants to producers, artists to administrators, co-creators to communication managers – Future Arts Centres and the art centers you lead, work with and make up couldn’t have done it without you!

And the biggest THANK YOU to Arts Council England and The National Lottery for making #HereandNow2020 possible! #NationalLottery #ThanksToYou - We can’t wait to see what happens next!

We’re sure you all remember ‘A Song for Trowbridge’, a project we released earlier this year as part of Here and Now Project This local & national celebration of culture & creativity was supported by The National Lottery and Arts Council England for The National Lotteries 25th anniversary
