  • News Update for London's Museums
    @LondonMusDev E-update for London’s Museums – 26 October 2020 Two weeks ago London moved into the second Tier of the government’s three- tier alert system for local lockdowns. The three-tier alert system imposes three different levels of lockdown in a specific region, depending on the number of cases per 100,000 of population in that area. London is currently in Tier 2, or ‘alert level: high’. Previous Covid-19 rules and restrictions still apply, as highlighted below, including the rule of six. Though there are changes to be aware of and you can find the full Tier 2 guidance on the Gov.uk website. Museums, galleries and libraries, following COVID-secure guidance, can still host more people in total, but no one must mix indoors with anyone who they do not live with (or have formed a support bubble with). The guidance states that “businesses and venues must ensure people do not meet in their premises with people from outside of their household or support bubble”. As always, it is advised to regularly check the news for government announcements. In addition, the Covid-19 measures that were announced on 24 September still stand. You can find further information about these measures on the gov.uk website, and how they will impact your organisation, including information on face coverings, Test and Trace, and new rules for businesses selling food. It is important that your organisation is fully up to date with these changes and you can find an overview on a number of these measures below. The NMDC has updated their Good Practice Guidelines to reflect many of the recent changes which have taken place in September and October, you can find further information about this guidance and the AIM and Museum Development Network’s accompanying checklist below.

  • Creative Barking &Dagenham
    CREATIVE BARKING & DAGENHAM THE ARTS, BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT, IN BARKING & DAGENHAM Art and active citizenship, confidence and civic pride - as an Arts Advisor to the Cultural Connectors and Creative Barking and Dagenham team since 2013, it’s been rewarding to see how successfully the project’s vision to engage local people in commissioning and programming has been realised. The team’s imaginative, consistent and persistent approach to building successful collaborations with individuals and communities has resulted in an ambitious range of artistic projects, festivals and creative partnerships. These have delighted and surprised audiences and participants, generated new partnerships and shifted perceptions of the borough, both regionally and nationally. To effect this change in perception CBD sought to ensure that the policy and strategy was rooted in local people’s interests and aspirations, so that it would be owned and championed by them. Placing consultation and collaboration at the heart of the process of change, right from the outset, has given value and status to the work of this Creative People and Places initiative. In Barking and Dagenham, the CBD staff team, the advisors and the local authority have foregrounded working with situated knowledge and insights of people who live and work in the borough. Over 100 voluntary ‘Cultural Connectors’ have been recruited, local residents who are the project’s advocates and decision makers. The arts commissioning is decided by panels where at least 60% of the voting power is held by these residents. This is meaningful participation and engagement with real roles, risks and responsibilities. The Cultural Connectors have built a strong critical frame of reference over the years, visiting theatre, festivals and galleries to see work across London and the UK.
