Artillery builds community with culture in East London. We produce hyperlocal initiatives showcasing the skills, talents and ideas in neighbourhoods. Current projects: The Reuse & Repair Fairs for Waltham Forest Council’s Climate Team; Repair Cafes for ELWA’s Waste Prevention Programme.
Artillery has been community building with culture in East London for over two decades responding to local ideas and meeting gaps in provision. We are specialists in creative project management combining event production, creative placemaking, artist mentoring and community development. Our projects include Reuse and Repair Fairs, Some Kind of Hack Space, Cultivate Urban Food Growing Festival, E17 Art Trail, Digital Art panel discussion co-produced with Compiler at William Morris Gallery.
Our projects harness and make visible the skills, talents and imaginations in our neighbourhoods bringing people together across generations and cultures. As creative changemakers residents grow in confidence to address crises collectively at a local level including isolation, climate emergency, social cohesion, inequalities, and lack of cultural democracy.
We foster hyper-local collaborations, purposefully building community partnerships to widen engagement and inclusion, supporting community initiatives and celebrating local expertise. Typically we reinvest 80% of project budgets locally.
Commissioners and funders include Mayor of London, Waltham Forest Council, East London Waste Authority, Foundation for Future London, Enfield Council, Southwark Council, London Community Response Fund, City of London, and Arts Council England.
