Live & Local: LivingRoom
After the success of Live & Local LivingRoom throughout 2020, we are pleased to say that we are able to expand this exciting initiative in 2021 all across our network.
‘Live & Local: LivingRoom’ was launched last year in response to the COVID-19 pandemic when the UK was subject to lockdown. Funded by Warwickshire County Council’s Creative Health Alliance, the project connected communities during this difficult time by establishing creative collaborations with professional artists.
The initiative was developed to enable people who were isolated or lonely, including those who do not have access to the internet or were shielding to participate. The first ten unique projects came from across Warwickshire and included a children’s support group, a WI group, a brand-new village community, a community heritage group and a volunteer COVID-19 support group.
Together with their artists, the groups collaborated via Zoom workshops and phone conversations to create new artworks such a short films, live online concerts, CDs and books, which were then shared with the community.
Check out the wonderfully creative projects on our YouTube channel.  For more information, visit our LivingRoom page.
If you are a community group interested in taking part in LivingRoom, we’d love to hear from you. Please email us at community@liveandlocal.org.uk for more information. |
