123 Create
123 Create - Music, Food and Art
Launch Event
A brand new space dedicated to music, food and
art for the Bedford community will be launched on Saturday
21st January 12noon – 4pm.
The ‘123 Create’ launch event is free to
attend and starts at 12pm at Bedford Creative Arts HQ at 140
Midland Road with hot food, music and dance.
The event will then move to 123 Midland Road
to open and celebrate the new space.
The aim of the new partnership project is for
Bedford Creative Arts and their partners to provide a community
space for people of all ages to take part in creative projects in
art, music and food culture and to champion the diverse cultures of
the area.
The group is launching the space with two
creative projects; a weekly youth group every Tuesday night and a
weekly creativity and wellbeing group every Wednesday
afternoon.
At the launch event, 123 Create will be
presenting seven young people who have come together to run the
weekly youth group with their ASDAN achievement award in social and
community involvement. There will also be an exhibition of visual
art by the teams’ weekly creativity and wellbeing residents
‘Infinite29’ (http://www.infinite29.com/). This includes a
presentation of four new animations made by local young people for
the Olympic program ‘Film Nation’ (http://www.filmnation.org.uk/).
This initiative has been made possible by
Bedford Borough Council Ward Fund and is a partnership between
Bedford Creative Arts, Taste Real Food and Bedford Borough
Council.
Hot food will be provided by Taste Real Food
(http://www.tasterealfood.com/)
