The Building Cultures Manifesto WIKI is now up and running and waiting for your contributions.  We invite you to view the Manifesto and add your comments.

Further information

Following on from the LCACE/Birkbeck 'Building Cultures' Seminar Series, Art and OUR City in May 2006 and the action workshop, Building Cultures:A Manifesto of Possibilities in February 2007, the Manifesto is now available for your comments to take forward issues raised by panellists, audience members, and workshop participants. The Manifesto will highlight significant recommendations to present to the Arts Council England, DCMS, Mayor of London and other central players in policy making and those promoting the role of art in urban change.

This Manifesto provides a chance for you to address the uncertainties of commissioning art in areas of urban change, discuss crucial concerns, and devise tangible solutions, knowing they will be presented to key decision makers.
