Two-year programme of arts activity and creative exchange in Islington's Archway and Finsbury Park.
Deadline: 7 March 2013
Application fee: none
A Million Minutes is an ambitious, two year programme of commissioned arts activities, projects and public art in Archway and Finsbury Park in Islington.
Through a series of high quality arts interventions, the project will engage the attentions and imaginations of the communities who identify with or experience Archway and Finsbury Park, from residents and workers who know the places well, to passing commuters, for whom both places are well-known sites of transition, but who have little time or reason to contemplate them at length.
The project will actively support community cohesion, stimulate the local economy and contribute towards the regeneration of Archway and Finsbury Park. It will utilise the arts as a means of connecting individuals within communities and connecting local communities, businesses, the public and private sector, voluntary sector and artists and arts organisations, in order to help transform the social and physical landscape of Archway and Finsbury Park. The project will act as a vehicle to develop new ways of working between the local authority and the arts sector, new collaborations and outcome driven, effective partnerships.
