News – Shipping arts to schools

An architect-designed shipping container which slides apart to create a multi-media filming studio and exhibition space is set to visit schools in the South East. The brainchild of public art consultancy Futurecity Arts, the Billboard project, which is a Creative Partnerships initiative, will provide a media centre where artists will lead workshops to engage young people in regeneration issues.

The resulting films, adverts, slogans and messages will help to inspire community, local authority and business engagement in regeneration. The work will contribute to the creation of the first national Young Peoples Manifesto for Urban Development and Regeneration.
