Open Meeting at Platt Chapel Community Centre Thursday 12th March 7pm

In January, a group like-minded people took over the lease of the Platt Fields Chapel (formerly the Photographic Society) on the edge of Platt Fields Park on Wilmslow Road to use as a social space for building a strong base for the active arts and local community groups. The aims of the organisers include:

To enable greater access to all forms of the performing arts by
providing an open arts venue which will be open and free for all to use

To provide opportunities to learn and develop skills by providing art
and cultural workshop programmes. All programmes will be open and free
to members of the general public.

To increase access to art by providing a community art gallery and
exhibitions of local and international artists. All exhibitions will
be open and free of charge to members of the general public.

To support local and grassroots campaigns; and to act as a facilitator
of social change by promoting a range of activities, such as film &
music nights, workshops, exhibitions, meetings, markets, actions and
by providing healthy affordable food.

We wish to facilitate all sorts for the residents of the surrounding area, the active arts community and them that are. We are open (when we open) to all irrespective of age, race or creed, to promote equality and improve the quality of life.

So if anyone is interested in contributing or using the space, for any means, eg. art, drama, music; or discussion, environmental, sporting, political, religious, spiritual or educational groups then come along to the meeting this Thursday. All suggestions are welcome.
